I once was a sailor, a young man and brave
C G Em D
Da da dum day, da da dum dee

My nights were once sleepless,
C G
My peace I would crave
G Em D
Carry me home to the sea
[Chorus]
G C G
Da de dum day, da da dum dee
C G Em D
Drift away sailor boys on the deep sea
G C G
Worry no more for you're safe now with me
C G D G
Rest in my arms and my sweet melody
[Verse 2]

One night as I'm stood on the deck in the rain

I heard a sweet voice and she's singing my name
C G D
Carry me back to the sea
[Chorus]

Da de dum day, da da dum dee

Drift away sailor boys on the deep sea

Worry no more for you're safe now with me

Rest in my arms and my sweet melody
