O' Sailor

I’m undecided about you again Mightn’t be right that you’re not here It’s double-sided ’cause I ruined it all -But also saved myself by never believing you Dear Everything good I deem too good to be true Everything else is just a bore Everything I have to look forward to Has a pretty painful and very imposing before                                                -- O’ sailor why’d you do it -What’d you do that for? Saying there’s nothing to it -And lettin’ it go by the boards I have too been playing with fifty-two cards -Just ’cause I play so far from my vest Whatever I’ve got I’ve got no reason to guard What could I do but spend my best                  refrão   And after waiting fighting patiently on my knees All the other stuff tired itself out first not me And in its wake appeared the touch and call of a different breed One who set to get me wise and got me there and then got me And what a thing to know what could be instead Oh what a blessed curse; to see       It took the agenda from its place in my bed Made a merry paramour of me                               refrão                                           -- O’ sailor why’d you do it -What’d you do that for Giving me eyes to view it -As it goes by the boards
