GUEST,off old 45' record Origins: I'm not in the navy, a sailor boy I sit (29) Origins: Im not in the navy, a sailor boy I sit 05 Sep 11


Anyone know who sang this song it went like this.

I'm not in the Navy,
a sailor boy I sit.
I got no one to keep me,
so I dont give a
Ships don't sail across the sea,
too far away from shore
I don't wear skirts and girdles,
so you cant call me
Horse and bridle and saddle
thats what I got to sell
if you dont want to buy them
Then you can go to
Helen is my girlfriends name
she drives a Newport truck.
She doesn't drive it very well
but you oughta see her
fumble bumble bumble keeps bumbling with my heart
Every time I eat Navy beans
I always have to
peek around the corner to see what I can see
all that Mama and papa did did did
did you ever meet my wife
you really ought to meet her
she didn't marry me for love all she wanted was
Peter Murphey had a dog a very fine dog was he
he drive his nose up a ladies hose
and drive the smell of her
get away from there naughty dog.

*** that's all I can remember***
This was from an old 45' of my friends Father. I believe from the
50's era. Would love to know artist and name of song.

Thanks
Pep
