I'm starting a journey today,
Departing from home on my way;

I'm riding the winds that prevail;
Criss-crossing the sea as I sail.

​

From harbor to harbor I ride;
A map of the stars for my guide;
 

Bouncing around's such a natural plan--
And now I’m back home,
Where my journey began!

A dozen old harbor's the plan;
I drift with a fifth in my hand;
 

Friendly old ports on my tour;
I know that I’ve been here before;
Always a pleasure to visit and then
I touch home and I'm off,
Round the circle again!
