When my man goes to [Cm] sea, [E] he steps so high and free, I think I know as I watch him go that he has no need for me.
And when my man comes home and waits a while to roam, I think I see when he smiles at me that he's dreaming of a foe.
[A] I'm [D] not a pious [A] Christian and I do not go [D] to mass, [G] but I pray to Father Neptune [Am] to let him [E] safely [B] pass.
whisker is [A] wild and free, [E] that I've got a man with a beard and a tan and a passion for the sea.
and the cold and the warm and he loves to [A] risk his neck, [E] and I like to know when he goes below that it's just below the deck.
[A] I tell you [D] fair and true that if [C] you should [G] lose my sailor, [Am] I'll sing no [E] more to you.
[B] When [E] he's home from sea, he is half with me and he's gone when I [Am] close the [E] door, and it's still his creed that he [A] has no need of a wife except on shore.
I know it's a boat that keeps him afloat, but I like to think it's me, [E] and if it were [D] not for this, I [E] would sing to [Eb] the depths [Bb]
