I'M GONNA SAIL LIKE A SHIP ON THE OCEAN

I'm gonna sail like a ship all on that ocean
I'm gonna sail like a ship all on that ocean
I'm gonna sail like a ship all on that ocean
Um, um, um, um, um, um, all on that ocean.

And I'm gonna sail until my sailing days is over (3x)
Um, um, um, um, um, um, my days is over.

And I'm gonna sail until I sail on up to glory (3x)
Um, um, um, um, um, um, on up to glory.

And I'm gonna sail until I see my dear old mother (3x)
Um, um, um, um, um, um, my dear old mother.

And I'm gonna sail until I meet with my father (3x)
Um, um, um, um, um, um, meet with my father.
