Sailor boy take me there when you go away
Hear the sea so incessantly
Take me fair beyond the golden bay
Sailor boy take me with you when you go away
Sailor boy take me with you when you go away
Soldier lad will you come home, will you leave me said
Dreaming of the times we should have had
All that war can bring is only bad
Soldier lad will you come home, will you leave me sad
Soldier lad will you come home, will you leave me sad
Sailing ship take me when you leave
Sailor boy take me with you when you go away
We will watch the sun rise on the sea
Soldier lad come home to me come home to me
Soldier lad come home to me come home to me
Soldier lad come home to me and here we'll stay
Sailor was written by Sandy Denny & Thea Gilmore.
