Lyrics
My lover boy he was a sailor; he sailed on the blue and the green.
My lover would cross the equator, but he'd always come back home to me.
One morning, the fog horn did bellow, to signal his ship coming in;
I went down to the port for to meet that young fellow; this time there was no sign of him.
They say he met some girl in the Orient; and he tattooed her name on his chest.
He decided to stay there and marry her, but he told us to send you his best.
Now three year and five months prior to his not returning, it was I gave birth to a child.
Oh a child who was first to be son to a sailor; a sailor who's watching the tide.
With some girl that he met in the Orient; and he tattooed her name on his chest.
He decided to stay there and marry her, but he told us to send you his best.
He didn't know, he didn't know, he didn't know; He didn't know that he left me with child.
He'll never know, he'll never know, he'll never know; he'll never know his son's name, he'll never look in his eyes
Here is the sea;
The wavy sea;
Here is a boat;
And here is me.
