A girl and a sailor were parting one day
She smiled through her tear drops and brushed them away
"I wish I could stay here," he sighed soft and low
"But duty is calling and now I must go"
Farewell, your blond sailor must leave for a while, dear
Farewell, send me off with a kiss and a smile, dear
All my love and devotion I will leave in your care
As deep as the ocean, and as true as a pray'r
When my journey is over, you'll be waiting I know
Farewell, my sweet darling, your blond sailor must go
Farewell, your blond sailor must leave for a while, dear
Farewell, send me off with a kiss and a smile, dear
All my love and devotion I will leave in your care
As deep as the ocean, and as true as a pray'r
When my journey is over, you'll be waiting I know
Farewell, my sweet darling, your blond sailor must go
