The Sailorman Song

(album: Friends - 1981)

Well, I was alright, I heard you were playing
An old sailors song, right out from the sea
I'm playing my banjo, when I'm feeling lonely
Every time when you stand out to sea

I'm bound for the sea and I hope you'll be waiting
I wonder will I ever see you again
But while I'm away, I still hear you playing
Playing your song

And soon we all were sailing
Across the mighty sea
Dum di di dy dumm, the sailorman song
We're rounding the horn for a thousand years

And soon we all were sailing
Across the mighty sea
Dum di di dy dumm, the sailorman song
We're rounding the horn every year

It's no wonder why, one loves to be sailing
All over the world, all over the seas
Gracefully swaying, she moves like a lady
Silently waiting, she beckons to me

I'm bound for the sea and I hope you'll be waiting
I wonder will I ever see you again
But while I'm away, I still hear you playing
Playing your song

And soon we all were sailing
Across the mighty sea
Dum di di dy dumm, the sailorman song
We're rounding the horn for a thousand years

And soon we all were sailing
Across the mighty sea
Dum di di dy dumm, the sailorman song
We're rounding the horn every year
