THE SAD SAILING SONG

It always reminds me, always reminds me

When I see a ship, go sailing by

I saw a ship, go sailing by

And as I watched I had to cry

For memories came back to me

About my girl, who went to sea

It was in May she went away

To Spain she went, on holiday

She never came, back home to me

The girl I loved, was drowned at sea

She really meant the world to me

Her face I can’t forget

I've cried more tears than anyone

But you ain't seen nothing yet

I just can’t go on living

Now that she has gone

My life will never be the same

I’ll always be alone

For I’ll never find another girl like her

Even in a hundred years

Cry, cry, cry, is all that I can do

I’ll flood the whole world with my tears

It always reminds me, always reminds me

When I see a ship, go sailing by

I saw a ship, go sailing by

And as I watched I had to cry

For memories came back to me

About my girl, who went to sea

It was in May she went away

To Spain she went, on holiday

She never came, back home to me

The girl I loved, was drowned at sea

It always reminds me, always reminds me

When I see a ship, go sailing by
