Sailor Song

Well I asked her why she cried

What she was doing with her life

She said “I could marry a sailor

I think that I’d make a good wife

But he would leave for months at sea

Leaving only the baby and me

And I do not think that I could stay faithful

And I could leave the sound for good

Bringing only some photos and a book

But I’m pretty sure my legs would grow weary”

Then she asked how bout me

I said “well darling let me see

I hear wedding bells and see kisses from lovers

Those lovers or so it seems

They appear to be you and me

But I could be wrong cause my mind’s awful lazy

And now I’m seeing something else

And it’s me I’m by myself

And I appear to be older and I’m awful lonely

And as I cry I ask God why

How could you let my poor wife die?”

And I told her not to cry

To wipe her eyes

(Guitar Solo)

Well if love is all you have

Well then baby that’s not bad

And if love is all you got

Then that’s a hell of a lot

Well if love is all you have

Well then baby that’s not bad

And if love is all you got

Then that’s a hell of a lot

Well if love is all you have

Well then baby that’s not bad

And if love is all you got

Then that’s a hell of a lot

Well if love is all you have

Well then baby that’s not bad

And if love is all you got

Then that’s a hell of a lot

Well if love is all you have

Well then baby that’s not bad

And if love is all you got

Then that’s a hell of a lot

Hell of a lot
