SAILIN’

(JOHN DAWSON)

OH MY LADY WALKS SOFTLY AND CARRIES NO TIME
THE SUN IN THE MORNING IS HER ONLY WINE
AND SHE WAKES ME AND TAKES ME
WITH HER TO THE SEA
OH WE OFTEN GO SAILIN’ MY LADY AND ME

LADY IS LOVELY AND CARRIES NO COMB
AND JUST BEING WITH HER IS FEELIN’ LIKE HOME
SHE THINKS OF THE OCEANS AS
RIVERS SET FREE
OH WE OFTEN GO SAILIN’ MY LADY AND ME

BRIDGE:
OH MY LADY AND ME
WE GO DOWN TO THE SEA
SUNSHINE IN THE MORNING AT DAWN
CLIMB TO THE DECK AND WE
RAISE UP THE SAILS
CLEAR THE HARBOR AND WE’RE GONE

LADY SINGS SWEETLY AND CARRIES NO TUNE
HER VOICE MAKES ME THINK OF THE LIGHT
FROM THE MOON
AND SHE WAKES ME AND TAKES ME
WITH HER TO THE SEA
OH WE OFTEN GO SAILIN’ MY LADY AND ME

(REPEAT LAST LINE 3XS)
