judy collins - sailor's life lyrics

Loading...

oh, a sailor’s life is a weary life
for he robs the girls of their delight
causes them to weep, causes them to mourn
loss of a true love, never to return

oh, father, father, build me a boat
and on the world’s oceans, i will float
hail each captain, as i p-ss by
there, i’ll ask for my sailor boy

oh, captain, captain, tell me true
does my own willie sail with you?
tell me soon, to give me joy
none will i have but my sailor boy

oh no, kind lady, he’s not here
he drowned in the gulf, and we buried him there
on the island, as we p-ssed by
there, we left your sailor boy

oh, she rung her hands, and tore her hair
just like some lady in great despair
called for a chair to sit her down
penningdon for, to write it down

oh, dig my grave wide and deep
put a marble stone at the head and feet
on my grave, a turtle dove
tell the world, i died for my love

oh, a sailor’s life is a weary life
he robs the girls of their delight
causes them to weep, causes them to mourn
loss of a true love, never to return
