O' Sailor

I'm undecided about you again Mightn't be right that you're not here It's double-sided, 'cause I ruined it all But also saved myself by never believing you, dear Everything good I deem too good to be true Everything else is just a bore Everything I have to look forward to Has a pretty painful and very imposing before O' sailor, why'd you do it? What'd you do that for? Saying there's nothing to it And then letting it go by the boards O' sailor, why'd you do it? What'd you do that for? Saying there's nothing to it And then letting it go by the boards I have, too, been playing with 52 cards Just 'cause I play so far from my vest Whatever I've got, I've got no reason to guard What could I do but spend my best? O' sailor, why'd you do it? What'd you do that for? Saying there's nothing to it And then letting it go by the boards O' sailor, why'd you do it? What'd you do that for? Saying there's nothing to it And then letting it go by the boards And after waiting, fighting patiently on my knees All the other stuff tired itself out first, and not me And in its wake, appeared the touch and call Of a different breed One who set to get me wise, and got me there And then, got me Oh, what a thing, to know what could be instead Oh, what a blessed curse; to see It took the agenda from its place in my bed Made a merry paramour of me O' sailor, why'd you do it? What'd you do that for? Saying there's nothing to it And then letting it go by the boards O' sailor, why'd you do it? What'd you do that for? Giving me eyes to view it As it goes by the boards O' sailor, why'd you do it? What'd you do that for? Saying there's nothing to it And then letting it go by the boards O' sailor, why'd you do it? What'd you do that for? Saying there's nothing to it And then letting it go by the boards O' sailor, why'd you do it? What'd you do that for? Giving me eyes to view it As it goes by the boards O' sailor, why'd you do it? What'd you do that for? Giving me eyes to view it As it goes by the boards
