I once was a sailor, a young man and brave
Da da dum, da da dum dee
My nights were once sleepless,

My peace I would crave
Carry me home to the sea


Da da dum day, da da dum dee
Drift away sailor boys on the deep sea
Worry no more for you're safe now with me

Rest in my arms and my sweet melody

One night as I'm stood on the deck in the rain

Da da dum, da da dum dee
I heard a sweet voice and she's singing my name
Carry me back to the sea


Chorus
Oh rock me so gently now ocean so deep

Da da dum, da da dum dee
I wish I was back, cause I think I can't sleep
Carry me home to the sea


Chorus
