I once was a sailor, a young man and brave Da da dum day, da da dum dee My nights were once sleepless, My peace I would crave Carry me home to the sea Chorus: Da da dum day, da da dum dee Drift away sailor boys on the deep sea Worry no more for you're safe now with me Rest in my arms and my sweet melody One night as I'm stood on the deck in the rain Da da dum day, da da dum dee I heard a sweet voice and she's singing my name Carry me back to the sea Chorus: Da da dum day, da da dum dee Drift away sailor boys on the deep sea Worry no more for you're safe now with me Rest in my arms and my sweet melody Oh rock me so gently now ocean so deep Da da dum day, da da dum dee I wish I was back, cause I think I can't sleep Carry me home to the sea Chorus: Da da dum day, da da dum dee Drift away sailor boys on the deep sea Worry no more for you're safe now with me Rest in my arms and my sweet melody Da da dum day, da da dum dee Drift away sailor boys on the deep sea Worry no more for you're safe now with me Rest in my arms and my sweet melody
