10 Feb 06 - 03:51 PM (#1666321) Subject: Lyr Req: If I had a ship, I'd sail away From: Barbara A friend of mine is looking for this. She learned it many years ago (25? 30?) in Nairobi, Kenya where it was sung by a buncha expat UK guys who had a group there called "Hootenanny". CHORUS: If I had a ship, I'd sail away If I had a ship, I'd sail away Leave my troubles where they lay If I had a ship, I'd sail away Way down by the sea I'd leave my troubles on the shore .......... will never see If I had a ship, I'd sail away. She's been singing it to her kids as a lullabye, and this is all she can remember, but there's more, and of course, she's not positive these words are exact. Anyone help? Blessings, Barbara |

If I had a ship, I'd sail away. Leave my sorrows where they lay. If I had a ship, I'd sail away. Stroll down by the sea. Take a stroll down by the bay. Sit and ponder the endless waves. If I had a ship, I'd sail away. (If I had a ship) If I had a ship (I'd sail away) I'd sail away. (If I had a ship) If I had a ship (I'd sail away) I'd sail away. (Leave my sorrows where they lay) Leave my sorrows where they lay. (If I had a ship) If I had a ship (I'd sail away) I'd sail away. Stroll down by the sea Where the wind songs softly play. Lean my back on a driftwood tree. If I had a ship, I'd sail away. If I had a ship, I'd sail away (I would sail away). If I had a ship, I'd sail away (I would sail away.) Leave my sorrows where they lay. If I had a ship, I'd sail away. Stroll down by the sea. Stand beside her misty spray. 'Though I know 'twill never be, If I had a ship, I'd sail away. (Chorus) (If I had a ship) If I had a ship (I'd sail away) I'd sail away. (If I had a ship) If I had a ship (I'd sail away) I'd sail away. (Leave my sorrows where they lay) Leave my sorrows where they lay (If I had a ship) If I had a ship (I'd sail away) I'd sail away. If I had a ship, I'd sail away. If I had a ship, I'd sail away. Leave my sorrows where they lay. If I had a ship, I'd sail away. (I'd sail away.) |
