Whoa Sailor Lyrics

(Hank Thompson - Walt McCoy)

Well, I'll tell you 'bout my night on shore if you will lend an ear
I stepped into a cabaret to get myself a beer
A pretty girl sat all alone and she needed company
But when I got close this gal a rose this is what she said to me.

Now she said whoa sailor be careful what you do
In your eye there's a gleam and to me it seems your just like all the rest
With a wolfish eye and a line that's sly
Then a salior's at his best.

--- Instrumental ---

Now look here babe you've got me wrong I'm not that kinda guy
I just got back from across the sea where there are no gals arie
Now let me talk to you a while I'm sure you'll see my way
But when I went to spout she turned about this is what she had to say.Rose Maddox - Whoa Sailor - http://motolyrics.com/rose-maddox/whoa-sailor-lyrics.html

Now she said whoa sailor I've heard that line before
You'll look into my eyes and tell me lies and tales of the seven seas
But a sailor's full of that kinda bull
So don't hand it to me.

--- Instrumental ---

Oh, pretty girl you've let me down you've broken my poor heart
And oh how it hurt when you had to spout that last sad remark
I said I think I have a drink and I broke out six month's pay
With a wide open eyes she breathed a sigh this time she had to say.

Now she said whoa sailor I think you've won my heart
Well, she was right neat and she sure was sweet but I knew she was that sort
But she's not all to blame 'cause it's a sailor's aim
To have a girl in every port...
