Simple Sailor Sam
"over the waters blue the night winds sigh, the breakers roar”...Samuel Taylor-Coleridge
I love to be upon the sea
When’er the tides are high
For rough sea does not bother me
Or thunder of the sky
Of this maybe you wonder why
It’s just the way I am
Unafraid and so brave am I
I’m simple sailor Sam.
Sailing along I sing with glee
Until the night is nigh
A time to rest this busy bee
To bestow earned shut eye
How quickly time goes floating by
I’m not a lonesome man
As my life is well occupied
I’m simple sailor Sam.
There’s lots to explore o’er the sea
Dolphins come to say Hi
With acrobatics that cheer me
As I am sailing by
For scenery I have the sky
A gift to an helmsman
Such a jolly sailor am I
I’m simple sailor Sam.
So my hearties please do not cry
I do the best I can
Roaming raging tempests am I
I’m simple sailor Sam.
