[Verse 1] I once was a sailor a young man and brave Da da dum day da da dum dee My nights were once sleepless My peace I would crave Carry me home 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 [Verse 2] One night as I’m stood on the deck in the rain Da da dum day da da dum dee I heard a sweet voice and she’s singing my name 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 [Verse 3] Oh rock me so gently now ocean so deep Da da dum day da da dum dee I wish I was back cause I think I can’t sleep Carry me home 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
