[Verse 1]
E In a pub Britanny I had me a drink or three B I can vaguely recall a pretty girl was standin' there N.C. E A Ran her hand through my hair took me off for some air E B E B I hope we had a good time for I woke without even a dime
[Chorus]
E I'm a sailor that's all that I am I've been in many a land B Had a million girls but never have the urge to stay N.C. E A I was born to be on the rollin' sea E B E B That's where I'll be a livin' and I'll be a dyin' someday
[Verse 3]
E Well I copped me a ship once more that was bound for Singapore B I got in a card game that lasted for thirty some days N.C. E A I made my shipmates sad I took all they had E B E B I taught those rosy cheek lads they don't be underratin' ol' Dad
[Chorus]
E I'm a sailor that's all that I am I've been in many a land B Had a million girls but never have the urge to stay N.C. E A I was born to be on the rollin' sea E B E B That's where I'll be a livin' and I'll be a dyin' someday
[Verse 4]
E Three more days and we'll be in port we'll have twenty four hours of sport B We'll spend our hard earned money as fast as we can N.C. E A Lift the glasses high and tell the pretty girls lies E B E B And then we'll run for the harbor that's the life of a sailor man
[Outro]
E I'm a sailor that's all that I am I've been in many a land B Had a million girls but never have the urge to stay
