Kate Rusby Lyrics
"Sleepless Sailor"

I once was a sailor, a young man and brave
Da de dum day, da de dum dee
My nights were once sleepless
My peace I would crave
Carry me home to the sea

Da de dum day, da de dum dee
Drift away sailor boys, on the deep sea
Worry no more for you're safe now with me
Rest in my arms and my sweet melody

One night as I stood on the deck in the rain
Da de dum day, da de dum dee
I heard a sweet voice and she's singing my name
Carry me home to the sea

Da de dum day, da de dum dee
Drift away sailor boys, on the deep sea
Worry no more for you're safe now with me
Rest in my arms and my sweet melody

Oh rock me so gently, now ocean so deep
Da de dum day, da de dum dee
I wish I were back, cause I think I cant sleep
Carry me home to the sea

Da de dum day, da de dum dee
Drift away sailor boys, on the deep sea
Worry no more for you're safe now with me
Rest in my arms and my sweet melody

Da de dum day, da de dum dee
Drift away sailor boys, on the deep sea
Worry no more for you're safe now with me
Rest in my arms and my sweet melody
