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
