Lyrics

I've sailed an ocean, unsettled ocean Through restful waters and deep commotion Often frightened, unenlightened Sail on, sail on, sailor I wrest the waters, I fight Neptune's waters I sail through the sorrows of life's marauders Unrepenting, often empty Sail on, sail on, sailor Caught like a sewer rat, alone but I sail Bought like a crust of bread, then woe do I wail Seldom stumble, try to tumble Never crumble, life's a rumble Feel the stinging, I've been living Never ending, unrelenting Heartbreak searing, persevering Never clearing, always fearing Sail on, sail on, sailor I've worked the seaways, the gale-swept seaways Past shipwrecked daughters of wicked waters Uninspired, drenched and tired Sail on, wail on, sailor Always feeling to be flailing Never feeling all my feelings And the thunder must I blunder There's no wonder, Lord I'm under Stop the lying and the sighing And the crying and my dying Sail on, sail on, sailor Sail on, sail on, sailor Sail on, sail on, sailor Sail on, sail on, sailor Sail on, sail on, sailor Sail on, sail on, sailor Sail on, sail on, sailor Billy Henchy!
