An old Moon Mullican song...
I'll sail my ship alone with tho' all the sails are torn
driftin' out across the ocean blue
I/S/M/S/Alone with all the dreams I own
And when it starts to sink, then I'll blame you

I'm just like a ship at sea that's lost without a sail
The dark clouds hide the sun from up above
....memory fails me here....
I have the Lp somewhere....have to look
will post later if noone else does...

Hope you will help Gene, I have the song on a record but don't have a record player any more, went to CD's a few years ago when my record player wore out. Leon Russell does a good job on Hank's Back don't know if you ever heard his version, a little different from Moon's but basicly the same. My band members can play the music but don't have lyrics. I found a midi file on the net of the song, used Cakewalk software to get the score. Harmony Central has only one song by Moon and that aint the one, Cowpie has a Moon section but nothing in it.

I have this song title by Hank Snow on a 78rpm. The words are different than above. If you think the one I have may be the one you want I'll try to find it for you.

Thanks for your help, and yes would like the different versions, might have trouble working out the parts. One of the boys in the band likes the song so well we thought we would add it to our program. Not in to big of a hurry our first show for the season is not till the first part of April.

Here's the Original Award Winning Hit version

I'LL SAIL MY SHIP ALONE
As recorded by: Moon Mullican
Writers: Moon Mullican, Henry Bernard,
Henry Thurston, Lois Mann, & Morry Burns

[D] We've been sweethearts for so long
But now you say, "We're [G] thru!"
The [A7] love we shared is now a memo-[D] ry
I had built a ship of dreams
And planned them all for [G] you
And [A7] now I guess what is to be will [D] be.

CHORUS
I'll sail my ship alone
With [A7] all the dreams I own
Drifting out across the ocean [D] blue
I'll sail my ship alone
Tho' [A7] all the sails you've torn
And when it starts to sink, then I'll blame [D] you.

I'm just like a ship at sea
That's lost without a sail
The dark clouds hide the sun from up above
And even with these broken dreams
My heart will never fail
For deep inside there's only one true love.

CHORUS

I gave a message to the wind
To take back home to you
Hopin' you would hear my S.O.S.
Maybe you would come back home
My darling if you knew
How much my aching heart is in distress.

CHORUS
