Sailor's Life-Judy Collins

[00:05.616]Oh, a sailor's life is a weary life [00:12.070]For he robs the girls of their delight [00:17.292]Causes them to weep, causes them to mourn [00:20.258]Loss of a true love, never to return [00:27.616]Oh, Father, Father, build me a boat [00:32.291]And on the world's oceans, I will float [00:37.115]Hail each captain, as I pass by [00:40.215]There, I'll ask for my sailor boy [00:48.723]Oh, captain, captain, tell me true [00:52.810]Does my own Willie sail with you? [00:57.472]Tell me soon, to give me joy [01:00.715]None will I have but my sailor boy [01:07.611]Oh no, kind lady, he's not here [01:11.866]He drowned in the gulf, and we buried him there [01:16.393]On the island, as we passed by [01:19.720]There, we left your sailor boy [01:27.351]Oh, she rung her hands, and tore her hair [01:31.544]Just like some lady in great despair [01:36.737]Called for a chair to sit her down [01:39.790]Penningdon for, to write it down [01:47.450]Oh, dig my grave wide and deep [01:53.151]Put a marble stone at the head and feet [01:57.700]On my grave, a turtle dove [02:00.518]Tell the world, I died for my love [02:11.186]Oh, a sailor's life is a weary life [02:17.273]He robs the girls of their delight [02:22.014]Causes them to weep, causes them to mourn [02:25.167]Loss of a true love, never to return
