Thread Name: female singer 55-56 era: Sailor's Sweetheart
Subject: Help: ID female singer 55-56 era
while rumaging thru some old tapes i made in berlin, germany
in 1955/56.. off of Armed Forces Network Radio, I ran across some country shows and am having memory problems ID'ing the singers.

can only guess at the title to this up tempo song...

[i'm just a sailor's sweetheart]
and i love my sailor lad
but he left me ........
he was all i ever had

but i still believe in sailors
and i'm true to the red white and blue
and altho i'm barred from the navy yard
oh i love my sailor lad, positively

i was just a sailor's sweetheart
and i loved my sailor lad
but one day at coney island
boy, he sure did get me mad

when he put his bathing suit on
big as life tattooed there on his chest
was the name marie, mine is rosalie
did he have to take it off, positively

two other verses....

help anybody...
