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.
Imagination Island[]
- Sailing, sailing,
- Over the bounding main,
- For many a stormy wind shall blow
- Till we come home again.
- Sailing, sailing,
- Until the winds are gone
- And who's inside along for the ride?
- It looks to me like Shawn.
- Sailing, sailing,
- Over the bounding main,
- For many a stormy wind shall blow
- Till we come home again.
- Sailing, sailing,
- How great it makes me feel,
- And on our trip, steering the ship
- It's Derek at the wheel.
- Sailing, sailing,
- I hope we never stop.
- The door is closed, but not for long
- 'Cause here is Baby Bop.
- Sailing, sailing,
- With the ones we love,
- Now look up high, up in the sky
- It's BJ up above.
- Sailing, sailing,
- Over the bounding main,
- For many a stormy wind shall blow
- Till we come home again.
- Sailing, sailing,
- It looks so nice and clear,
- We really know we're ready to go
- 'Cause now we all are here!
