Whoa Sailor - Rose Maddox
Well I'll tell you about my night on shore
If you will lend an ear
I stepped into a cabaret
To get myself a beer
A pretty girl sat all alone
And she needed company
But when I got close this gal a rose this is
What she said to me
Now she said
'Whoa sailor be careful what you do
In your eye there's a gleam and to me
It seems you're just like all the rest
With a wolfish eye and a line that's sly
Than a sailor's at his best'
'Now look here babe
You've got me wrong
I'm not that kinda guy
I just got back from across the sea
Where there are no gals arie
Now let me talk to you a while
I'm sure you'll see my way'
But when I went to spout she turned about
This is what she had to say
Now she said
'Whoa sailor I've heard that line before
You'll look into my eyes and tell me lies
And tales of the seven seas
But a sailor's full of that kinda bull
So don't hand it to me'
'Oh pretty girl
You've let me down
You've broken my poor heart
And oh how it hurt when you had to spout
That last sad remark'
I said
'I think I have a drink
And I broke out six month's pay'
With a wide open eyes she breathed a sigh
This time she had to say
Now she said
'Whoa sailor
I think you've won my heart'
Well she was right neat
And she sure was sweet
But I knew she was that sort
But she's not all to blame
Cause it's a sailor's aim
To have a girl in every port
