A sailor man

 

Tomorrow I知 off to sea,

a sailor man I値l be.

 

Sailing the great ocean blue,

sailing I知 sad to say away from you.

 

And I値l not be back till the wind blows east,

so until that day, alas, we will not meet.

 

For I知 sailing around the world ,

leaving my home and girl.

 

Ahoy;

 

A sailor man I値l be.

I知 off to see the sea.
