Sailor

You ain't gonna get me honey no way

Tearing down the highway in the pouring rain

escaping from my wedding day

I heard the bells ringing in the local church

the ceremony's nearly under way

Telegrams came and the cheap champagne

was driving everybody out of their brains

But I convinced my best friends I lost my nerve

and I pleaded I was being framed

"Sailor show me which way to go"

I screamed out loud

"Sailor show me which way to go"

Such a deadly silence

due to my defiance

the wedding ground to a halt

Said I changed my mind

ain't no use in your trying

so her brother punched me in the throat

her mother got hysterical

the bitch was cynical

father's in the corner drunk

Picking myself off the floor

I ran to the door

damned if I was skippin' on my way

"Sailor show me which way to go"

You should have heard the noise

Said "Sailor show me which way to go"

So keep clean girlie

find a man that's truly

gonna love you from dusk till dawn

Keep your front door key

don't give him up for me

'cause tomorrow I may be gone

You see, your wouldbe keepers

( ) all night creepin'

nobody gonna change in there

Who thinks a marriage life should be like a dog's life

so let's renew it when the year runs out

Sailor show me which way to go

Sailor show me which way to go

She had a belly full of lust but she had no bust
