My Sailor Boy
My sailor boy, my sailor boy,
This lovely boy whom I adore,
His good ship brought him home from war.
I though he'd sail away no more.
Safe at last from the oceans storms,
My sailor boy, my sailor boy.
I welcomed him with open arms.
I wooed him with my girlish charms.
I wanted to keep him from the sea,
To keep him always near to me,
My sailor boy, my sailor boy.
So happy we were sure to be.
When that big ship left port one day,
He didn't heed my pleas to stay.
He climbed aboard and sailed away.
My sailor boy, my sailor boy.
For Joe Flach's contest. One good quatern deserves another honoralbe mention
