Well I'll tell you bout my night on shore if you will lend an earI stepped into a cabaret to get myself a beerA pretty girl sat all alone and she needed companyBut when I got close this gal a rose this is what she said to meNow she said whoa sailor be careful what you doIn your eye there's a gleam and to me it seems your just like all the restWith a wolfish eye and a line that's sly then a salior's at his best[ guitar ]Now look here babe you've got me wrong I'm not that kinda guyI just got back from across the sea where there are no gals arieNow let me talk to you a while I'm sure you'll see my wayBut when I went to spout she turned about this is what she had to sayNow she said whoa sailor I've heard that line beforeYou'll look into my eyes and tell me lies and tales of the seven seasBut a sailor's full of that kinda bull so don't hand it to me[ guitar ]Oh pretty girl you've let me down you've broken my poor heartAnd oh how it hurt when you had to spout that last sad remarkI said I think I have a drink and I broke out six month's payWith a wide open eyes she breathed a sigh this time she had to sayNow she said whoa sailor I think you've won my heartWell she was right neat and she sure was sweet but I knew she was that sortBut she's not all to blame cause it's a sailor's aim to have a girl in every port From Letras Mania
