sailor's blues

i fell in love with a sailor

near the docks of my hometown

when i was young and full of anger

he brought me up when i was down

saying how many years has it been like that

and when we wooooo woo woo woo woo

i've got trouble tryna lose you

and when we wooooo woo woo woo woo

i've got trouble tryna care

left the coast in early morning

watched his boat set off to sea

silence is a golden mountain

the last words you said to me

saying how many years has it been like that

and when we wooooo woo woo woo woo

i've got trouble tryna lose you

and when we wooooo woo woo woo woo

i've got trouble tryna care

well i met this nice girl in a port of town just west of home

she told me she didn't like the direction that her life was about to go

so i took her on my boat and we made the love under the stars

and i told her something about a mountains so she'd leave before night was dark

said how many years has it been like this?

don't leave me dying out here like this

and when we wooooo woo woo woo woo

i've got trouble tryna lose you

and when we wooooo woo woo woo woo

i've got trouble tryna care

when we know

when we know i've got trouble tryna lose you

when we know

when we know i've got trouble tryna care
