lyrics

He said I'll go for a sailor on a far distant sea and I can't say it's likely I'll be true
But if you're gentle and kind though I've left you behind
Maybe I'll come sailing home to you
So his ship it set out from a West Coast port to go sailing on a foreign sea
I kept my aching heart numb with tequila and rum until he came sailing back to me

He's been the thorn in my side for longer than I'd like
Brought me nothing but trouble and pain
Still I've been patient as a bride, wish I had him by my side
Oh what I'd do just to see his face again

Now he says "I've a mind to go riding the rails, I have heard the call of the trains"
So that wayward love of mine took a southbound line far away from me over the plains
Alone late at night I would lie awake and hear that whistle blow
Drown the memory of him oh in whiskey and gin while all over the country he will go

He's been the thorn in my side for longer than I'd like
Brought me nothing but trouble and pain
Still I've been patient as a bride, wish I had him by my side
Oh what I'd do just to see his face again
