My heart is on my sleeve,
|
Do you still believe ?
|
Are you listenin’ to the tide roll in, watchin’ ships at sea ?
|
When I come sailin’ home again will you be there for me,
|
There for me ?
|
Treasure ships of yore
|
Grace the ocean floor
|
Columbus sailed for Italy, Columbus sailed for Spain.
|
Columbus sailed a wishin’ well, Columbus died in chains,
|
Died in chains.
|
|
I don’t pretend to know every answer
|
To everything that life may ask of me.
|
Hey, I’m Popeye the sailor man
|
I’m Popeye the sailor man
|
Hey, Popeye the sailor man
|
And I sail the lonely sea eternally.
|
|
My true love calls to me from far across the sea.
|
She says, “Red skies in the mornin’
|
Sailor take warnin’
|
Sail with me tonight
|
Sailor’s delight, sailor’s delight.”
|
|
I don’t pretend to know every answer
|
To everything that life may ask of me.
|
Hey, I’m Popeye the sailor man
|
Popeye the sailor man,
|
Popeye the sailor man
|
And I sail the lonely sea eternally.
|
|
She said, “Popeye the sailor man
|
Popeye the sailor man
|
Oh, Popeye the sailor man
|
Sail on home to me, come sail with me.”
