My gal gon' sail |

To some foreign distant land |
|
My gal gon' sail |
|
To some foreign distant land |
|
An' I'm gon' be |
|
Some other woman's man |
|
Said on, sail on, little girl, sail on |
|
Go on, sail on, little girl, sail on |
|
You gon' keep on sailin' |
|
Till you lose yo' happy home |
|
When that mean old train |
|
Carried my gal away, befo' |
|
When that mean old train |
|
Carried my gal away, befo' |
|
I was young and wild |
|
People, I didn't know |
|
I could change my mind |
|
And love somebody else |
|
I could change my mind |
|
And love somebody else |
|
I lived in misery |
|
But I brought it on, myself |
|
But I'm so glad |
|
I don't feel that way, no mo' |
|
But I'm so glad |
|
I don't feel that way, no mo' |
|
If she can stand to leave me |
|
I can stand to see her go |
