Don't Wait for a Sailor
My seafaring man, he called me tonight
To say, "Please be waiting 'til I hold you tight"
His voice was not clear, but he said it might
Be due to long distance, he loved me alright
Oh, don't wait for a sailor, whatever he'll say
You'll find all his phrases in any old play
Oh, don't wait for a sailor on the ocean of life
Be gladly his lover, but never his wife
I think he is drinking, he calls from a bar
Tonight from an island that's named Zanzibar
He's sailing in August, comes home in July
Maybe Christmas evening for one kiss goodnight
Oh, don't wait for a sailor, whatever he'll say
You'll find all his phrases in any old play
Oh, don't wait for a sailor on the ocean of life
Be gladly his lover, but never his wife
If he says one day
"I'm coming home to stay"
Don't you worry, he's going back to the sea
(Don't you worry, he's going back)
Oh, don't wait for a sailor, whatever he'll say
You'll find all his phrases in any old play
Oh, don't wait for a sailor on the ocean of life
Be gladly his lover, but never his wife
Oh, don't wait for a sailor, whatever he'll say
You'll find all his phrases in any old play
Oh, don't wait for a-
To say, "Please be waiting 'til I hold you tight"
His voice was not clear, but he said it might
Be due to long distance, he loved me alright
Oh, don't wait for a sailor, whatever he'll say
You'll find all his phrases in any old play
Oh, don't wait for a sailor on the ocean of life
Be gladly his lover, but never his wife
I think he is drinking, he calls from a bar
Tonight from an island that's named Zanzibar
He's sailing in August, comes home in July
Maybe Christmas evening for one kiss goodnight
Oh, don't wait for a sailor, whatever he'll say
You'll find all his phrases in any old play
Oh, don't wait for a sailor on the ocean of life
Be gladly his lover, but never his wife
If he says one day
"I'm coming home to stay"
Don't you worry, he's going back to the sea
(Don't you worry, he's going back)
Oh, don't wait for a sailor, whatever he'll say
You'll find all his phrases in any old play
Oh, don't wait for a sailor on the ocean of life
Be gladly his lover, but never his wife
Oh, don't wait for a sailor, whatever he'll say
You'll find all his phrases in any old play
Oh, don't wait for a-
