[Intro] I’m floating in my boat Not the one I used to fish in But the boat I sit in wishin’ I was still floating on my fishing boat And I’m out here on this river Really it’s just a creek But it’s a river when I drink So I’m drinking on my river boat [Bridge] I could sail to the ocean If the wind would come and get me But I ain’t goin’ nowhere quickly I’m just a drunkin’ sailor Waiting on a gale With a drink in my hand and a sailboat for sale Aye      Aye      An old pirate sold me on it We traded straight across The boat I thought I wanted For the boat I hate I lost She’ll sing when that wind whistles When it doesn’t well she don’t Just ask that old pirate That’s floatin’ on my river boat [Chorus] I could sail to the ocean If the wind would come and get me But I ain’t goin’ nowhere quickly I’m just a drunkin’ sailor Waiting on a gale With a drink in my hand and a sailboat for sale [Bridge] Never make a handshake deal while sharing someone bottle Never buy a boat son that doesn’t have a throttle Aye      Aye      I could sail to the ocean If the wind would come and get me But I ain’t goin’ nowhere quickly I’m just a drunkin’ sailor Waiting on a gale With a drink in my hand and a sailboat for sale I got a sailboat for sale Aye      Aye
