Sailin' Girl

Oh give me a sailin girl to bounce upon the waves
Make her love her sailors and the salt spray on her face
Let her stand upon my bow with sunshine on her face
I'll tie her down with rigging and i'll dress her up with lace

Oh give me a royal girl to sit upon her throne
Her highness is much lower any time we are alone
A girl to smile up at me when I take her crown
And courtly rumors that come up about what's going down

We've been asked to leave some of the finest ports at sea
And we may not make it back this way again
Now all we need's to spend a night and buck or two with Mrs. Right
Or Miss Right-Damn- Now if she'll have a spin
Oh darlin' won't you please Take pity now on me
And fall in love for just this evening

'Cause a buck or two is all I've got to spend

We've been so long at sea surrounded by these men
Now any port that fits our sloop looks mighty fine again

Oh give me a country girl all Rollin in the hay
Her pigtails bouncing in the air and begging me to stay
The lass pretends she's innocent but oh, the things she knows
A girl who stays quite loyal even when I come and go

You take those scarlet pillows and you throw them on the bed
And you roll around on top of them until they're playing dead
You tie up all the madame's girls and make them beg for more
You sing to all the ladies and you scream at all the whores

Oh give me a drunken girl, she might forget my name
Oh give me a city girl that knows the deepest lanes
Oh give me a proper girl she'll be so glad she came
Oh give me a pirate girl to sail the bounding main
