THE KINGSTON TRIO lyrics

Oh, Sail Away
(John Phillips)



Just a-singin', Ooo, sail away. Ooo, sail away.

A man would be a fool to spend all his money
and have to go to sea once more.
But when those brown skin gals start callin' you honey,
you'll be a sailin' from that shore.

Just a-singin', Ooo, sail away. Ooo, sail away.


When we hit Trinidad, was there I met Marni.
Don't you know we started drinkin' rum.
But now I feel so bad. She took all my money
and now I sail with the mornin' sun.

Just a-singin', Ooo, sail away. Ooo, sail away.


So all ye sailor lads who want to go sportin',
remark ye well what I do say.
Don't trust them brown skin gals. They'll be your misfortune.
You'll be at sea till your dyin' day.

Just a-singin', Ooo, sail away. Ooo, sail away.

Once again I쳌fll, Ooo, sail away. Ooo, sail away.
