If I could get away from this cloud over me,
Seems to just follow me around.

There's a good life had for free,
When you're out in the country,
That's what I could use,
If I could get away there soon.

CHORUS

There's a good life had at sea,
If you're not in the Navy,
That's the life for you,
Sail away Raymond, Sail away.

Now most folks just bore me,
Always imposing, and I'd rather meet a tree,
Somewhere out in the cornfild.

And it's a sunshine . . .
CHORUS
