Just a-singin' Ooh, sail away, ooh, sail away A man would be a fool to spend all his money And have to go to sea once more But when those brown skin gals start callin' you honey You'll be a sailin' from that shore Once again now Ooh, sail away, ooh, sail away When we hit Trinidad, was there I met Marni Don't you know we started drinkin' rum But now I feel so bad. She took all my money And now I sail with the mornin' sun Just a-singin' Ooh, sail away, ooh, sail away So all ye sailor lads who want to go sportin' Mark ye well what I do say Don't trust them brown skin gals. They'll be your misfortune You'll be at sea till your dyin' day A-singin' Ooh, sail away, ooh, sail away Everybody Ooh, sail away, ooh, sail away
