Sailor Song

Sailor Song - The Weeks

Well I asked her while she cried

What she was doin' with her life

She said 'I could marry a sailor;

I think that I'd make a good wife

But he would leave for months

At sea leaving only the baby and me

And I do not think that I could stay faithful

And I could leave this town

For good bringing only some photos and a book

But I'm pretty sure my legs would grow weary'

And then she asked how 'bout me

I said 'Well darlin' let me see

I hear wedding bells and see kisses from lovers

Those lovers are so in sync;

They appear to be you and me

But I could be wrong

'Cause my mind is awful lazy

Now I'm seein something else

And it's me all by myself

And I appear to be older

And I'm awful lonely

And as I cry I ask God

'Why How could you let my poor wife die '

And I told her not cry; to wipe her eyes

Well if love is all you had

Well then Baby that's not bad

And if love is all you got

Then that's a hell of a lot

Well if love is all you had

Well then Baby that's not bad

And if love is all you got

Then that's a hell of a lot

Well if love is all you had

Well then Baby that's not bad

And if love is all you got

Then that's a hell of a lot

Well if love is all you had

Well then Baby that's not bad

And if love is all you got

Then that's a hell of a lot

Well if love is all you had

Well then Baby that's not bad

And if love is all you got

Then that's a hell of a lot

Hell of a lot
