Sailor Man

Sailor Man - Bobby Bare

Written by：Harlan Howard

I'm in a pub in 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

Day day day

Well I copped me a ship once more

Wow

That was bound for Singapore

Wow

I got in a card game that lasted for thirty some days

Wow wow wow wow

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

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

Hey hey hey

Three more days and we'll be in port

Wow

We'll have twenty four hours of sport

Wow

We'll spend our hard earned money

As fast we can wow wow wow

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

I've been in many a land

Had a million girls

But never have the urge to stay
