In a pub Britanny, I had me a drink or three |
|
I can vaguely recall, a pretty girl was standin' there |
|
Ran her hand through my hair, took me off for some air |
|
I hope we had a good time, for I woke without even a dime |
|
I'm a sailor that's all that I am, I've been in many a land |
|
Had a million girls but never have the urge to stay |
|
I was born to be on the rollin' sea |
|
That's where I'll be a livin' and I'll be a dyin' someday |
|
Well, I copped me a ship once more that was bound for Singapore |
|
I got in a card game that lasted for thirty some days |
|
I made my shipmates sad, I took all they had |
|
I taught those rosy cheek lads, they don't be underratin' ol' dad |
|
I'm a sailor, that's all that I am |
|
Three more days and we'll be in port, we'll have twenty four hours of sport |
|
We'll spend our hard earned money, as fast as we can |
|
Lift the glasses high and tell the pretty girls lies |
|
And then we'll run for the harbor, that's the life of a sailor man |
|
I'm a sailor that's all that I am |
