Lyrics
Vahevala
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm thinkin' about when I was a sailor
Spent my time on the open sea
When we'd stay off the coast of Santa Barbara
Secretly steal ashore, natives were waiting for
Boy with the lazy soul to sing with the sailor
Vahevala, homeless sailor
Vahevala, homeward sail away
Vahevala, homeless sailor
Vahevala, homeward sail away
Every evening I'd be gone
Back on board by break of dawn
I'm thinkin' about the nights in Jamaica
Pretty girls dancin' here and there
Stole a keg, I'm drunk as a sailor
The captain, don't know where Billy, done go
I'm singing with native girls the songs of a sailor
Vahevala, homeless sailor
Vahevala, homeward sail away
Vahevala, homeless sailor
Vahevala, homeward sail away
Hurry sailor, sail away
Gotta be back on board by break of day
Every night in Jamaica, sing with the lady
And drink with the men till the morning appear
Healthy sunshine is fresh on my face
Songs of the night put ring in my ear
Vahevala, homeless sailor
Vahevala, homeward sail away
Vahevala, homeless sailor
Vahevala, homeward sail away
Hurry sailor, sail away
Gotta be back on board by break of
Vahevala, homeless sailor
Vahevala, homeward sail away
Vahevala, homeless sailor
Vahevala, homeward sail away
