I once was a sailor, a young man and brave
|
Da da dum, da da dum dee
|
My nights were once sleepless,
|
My peace I would crave
|
Carry me home to the sea
|
|
Da da dum day, da da dum dee
|
Drift away sailor boys on the deep sea
|
Worry no more for you're safe now with me
|
Rest in my arms and my sweet melody
|
|
One night as I'm stood on the deck in the rain
|
Da da dum, da da dum dee
|
I heard a sweet voice and she's singing my name
|
Carry me back to the sea
|
|
Chorus
|
Oh rock me so gently now ocean so deep
|
Da da dum, da da dum dee
|
I wish I was back, cause I think I can't sleep
|
Carry me home to the sea
|
