(Mitchell Parish)



A girl & a sailor

We're parting one day

She smiled through her teardrops

And brushed them away

I wish I could stay here

He sighed soft & low

But duty is calling

And now I must go 



Farewell, your blonde sailor must leave for awhile, dear

Farewell, send me off with a kiss & a smile, dear

All my love & devotion 

I will leave in your care

As deep as the ocean 

And as true as a prayer

When my journey is over

You'll be waiting, I know

Farewell, my sweet darling, your blonde sailor must go 



When my journey is over

You'll be waiting, I know

Farewell, my sweet darling, your blond sailor must go
