marina - daddy was a sailor lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
grandpa was a miner and he gave me my black art
bitter rivers of black coal dust tore our country apart
covered in coal dust, waking up too early in the morning
covered in coal dust, waiting for the moment the canary sings

mama was a mermaid and a carnaby street gal
she could have been a model but she spent her life mopping up spilt milk
covered in sea salt, would he, could he be home when the stars came out to party
covered in sea salt, yeah i know it was my fault that he always ran away because he didn’t want me

[chorus 1]
oh, daddy was a sailor
and he gave me a black heart
daddy was a sailor
the only man that could tear me apart

daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy-daddy
daddy, daddy, daddy

[verse 2]
sister dances salsa and she chants just like a queen
i was a non-believer when she told me i was free
auntie emy was a medium and she worked the ouija board
seeking out the lost souls and taking men back to the lord

[chorus 2]
oh, but daddy still was a sailor
and he gave me a black heart
daddy was a sailor
the only man that could tear me apart

oh, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy-daddy
daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy-daddy
ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh

[outro]
ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
