I joined the Navy to see the world But nowhere could I find A girl as sweet as Cindy The girl I left behind I've searched the wide world over Can't get her out of my mind Cindy, oh Cindy (C-Cindy, C-Cindy) Cindy don't let me down (C-Cindy, C-Cindy) Write me a letter, dear (C-Cindy, C-Cindy) And I'll be homeward bound (C-Cindy, C-Cindy) I see her face in every wave Her lips kiss every breeze Her loving arms reach out to me Through calm and stormy sea At night I face the lonely day Caressed by memories
Cindy, oh Cindy (C-Cindy, C-Cindy) Cindy don't let me down (C-Cindy, C-Cindy) Write me a letter, dear (C-Cindy, C-Cindy) And I'll be homeward bound (C-Cindy, C-Cindy) I know my Cindy's waiting for me As I walk the decks alone Her loving arms reach out to me Soon I'll be heading home Then my sailing days will be over No more will I roam Cindy, oh Cindy (C-Cindy, C-Cindy) Cindy don't let me down (C-Cindy, C-Cindy) Write me a letter, dear (C-Cindy, C-Cindy) And I'll be homeward bound (C-Cindy, C-Cindy)
