The Sailing Man

Sailing a sailing man for me

Today they left the harbor to sail out on the sea

I don't know when they'll be back around

I guess I'll have to wait like all the other girls in town

(Chorus)

Sailing sailing so far from the shore

What makes a man leave the land and the one that he adores

Wondering waiting will he return to me

Or will I wait forever while he roams out on the sea

He roams upon the sea

Hey old man your ship came in today

Have you seen the one who left and went away

I've not heard a word from anyone

Oh can you tell me where he is or where he might have gone

(Chorus)

Then one day a letter reached my door

Written by the one who left so many years before

It said "I don't know if you are still around but yesterday I married

A girl in another town"

(Chorus)
