This song was created in 1965 for Jackson’s second phonograph record called Blues Run the Game.
It has been released again in 2014 in the album Fixin' to Die by Secret Records.
There's a river between us now
Some state line borders, some broken towns
Some singing sailors doing what they please
Now I'm down to saying prayers on my knees
I've loved your eyes, your innocence
In the face of bad times and where it wents
There's no wind on this bitter earth
Time and distance claim my blues for what they're worth
I'd call your name when I grew scared
I'd write your home if you were there
I am so broken by losing you
Only life can heal and see me through
When it "rains" I'm all alone
Confused by lonely, headed for home
Some singing sailors doing what they please
Now I'm down to saying prayers on my knees
There's a river between us now
Some state line borders, some broken town
Some singing sailors doing what they please
Now I'm down to saying prayers on my knees
Now I'm down to saying prayers on my knees
Singing Sailors was written by Jackson C. Frank.
Singing Sailors was produced by Paul Simon.
