Lyrics
Sailor Woman
(Karine Ste-Marie, 2016)
I chose to be a sailor woman
I entertain the sea
I left my home, I left my friends
And I left my family
I get lonely, I get sad,
I miss my baby oh so bad
But now that I’m a sailor woman
What will become of me?
I chose to be a sailor woman
The ocean’s melody
Aboard a ship to tour the world
And forget my misery
It sails me high, it sinks me low
I follow where the wind may blow
But now that I’m a sailor woman
I’ve never felt so free
Yeah I get lonely, I get sad
I miss my baby oh so bad
The sea has called me to it’s motion
And that’s my destiny
The sea has called me with emotion
My only destiny
