Sailing, Sailing (also known by its first line "Sailing, sailing, over the bounding main") is a children's song about sailing on the ocean. It was written in 1880 by Godfrey Marks, a pseudonym of British organist and composer James Frederick Swift (1847–1931). In the Barney franchise it first appeared in the episode "Going Places!".

Lyrics

Sailing, sailing,

Over the bounding main,

For many a stormy wind shall blow

'Til we come home again.

Sailing, sailing,

Over the bounding main,

For many a stormy wind shall blow

'Til we come home again.
