johnnie & jack - sailor man lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
when i first went with uncle sam
i thought that i was a mighty ram
i jumped up on a big marine
he whipped me ’til my face turned green

[chorus]
that’s the life of a sailor man
he has to do the best he can
that’s the life of a sailor man
he has to do the best he can

[verse 2]
i found me a girl in baltimore
she gave me the key to her back door
when i went away she said goodbye
and gave the key to another guy

[verse 3]
i found me a babe in new orleans
she was one them cajun queens
we danced all night at the roosevelt
i lost my girl and my money belt

[chorus]
that’s the life of a sailor man
he has to do the best he can
that’s the life of a sailor man
he has to do the best he can

[verse 4]
when i was in los angeles
i found a blonde that i loved to squeeze
i asked her if she’d marry me
but had a husband on the sea

[verse 5]
we landed in eureka bay
found me a lovely moosomae
she said she’d never like j-pan
until she found a sailor man!

[chorus]
that’s the life of a sailor man
he has to do the best he can
that’s the life of a sailor man
he has to do the best he can

[verse 6]
when i’ve put up my twenty years
i ain’t a-gonna shed no salty tears
gonna find me a woman if i can
who understands a sailor man!

[chorus]
that’s the life of a sailor man
he has to do the best he can
that’s the life of a sailor man
he has to do the best he can
