I left my crew in England, many a year ago
On a makeshift boat with no life vest or no rope
I was plain seekin' for the wild and free
For I'm just a young sailor that's a little lost at sea
♪
I've been ailing in my cabin, riding the waves of life
Don't know if night is day or if day is night
Tell me where I am, tell me where I'll be
For I'm just a young sailor, a little lost at sea
♪
I've tried with all my might to stop this rocking bow
Prayed to the Lord above to throw an anchor down
I hope I'm a'sailing somewhere by Galilee
For I'm just a young sailor that's a little lost at sea
♪
One day if all me sails point home to all me boys
Where streets are filled with laughter
And the bars are filled with noise
Will they remember well? Do they even think of me?
For I'm just a young sailor, a little lost at sea
