Sunny sailor boy

On a day of days

I stood and gazed

over the western sea

I was completely dazed

wide-mouthed and amazed

when a mermaid called to me



Oh-wo-oh-wo-oh

Oh-wo-oh-wo-oh-wo

My sunny sailor boy



Like a man in a dream

for an age it seemed

I stood as still as a stone

while the creature sang

and her melody rang

like a memory calling me home



Oh-wo-oh-wo-oh

Oh-wo-oh-wo-oh-wo

My sunny sailor boy
