A girl & a sailor
We're parting one day
She smiled through her teardrops
And brushed them away
I wish I could stay here
He sighed soft & low
But duty is calling
And now I must go

Farewell, your blonde sailor must leave for awhile, dear
Farewell, send me off with a kiss & a smile, dear
All my love & devotion
I will leave in your care
As deep as the ocean
And as true as a prayer
When my journey is over
You'll be waiting, I know
Farewell, my sweet darling, your blonde sailor must go

When my journey is over
You'll be waiting, I know
Farewell, my sweet darling, your blond sailor must go
