I Courted a Sailor (feat. Jim Causley)

I courted a sailor for six months and many

I courted a sailor, now he's far from me

I courted a sailor for six months and many

I courted a sailor, now he's far from me

On a fine summer's evenin', he said his heart was grievin'

A fine summer's evenin', these words he said to me

Oh, I'm bound for the waves, the waves, dearest Annie

Bound for the waves, the waves on the sea

Oh, I'm bound for the waves, the waves, dearest Annie

Bound for the waves, the captain calls me

My heart has been yours now for six months and many

My heart has been yours now and will always remain

My heart has been yours now for six months and many

My heart has been yours now and will always remain

Oh, take with you my ring and my heart you'll always bring

Take with you my ring till you sail away to sea

Oh, I'm bound for the waves, the waves, dearest Annie

Bound for the waves, the waves on the sea

Oh, I'm bound for the waves, the waves, dearest Annie

Bound for the waves, the captain calls me

I'll wait for my sailor for six months and many

I'll wait for my sailor till he returns to me

I'll wait for my sailor for six months and many

I'll wait for my sailor till he returns to me

I'll wait for you my dear, for time love does not fear

I'll wait for you my dear till you come home from the sea

Oh, I'm bound for the waves, the waves, dearest Annie

Bound for the waves, the waves on the sea

Oh, I'm bound for the waves, the waves, dearest Annie

Bound for the waves, the captain calls me

I've married my sailor for six months and many

I've married my sailor, now he's safe with me

I've married my sailor for six months and many

I've married my sailor, no more he'll say to me

Oh, I'm bound for the waves, the waves, dearest Annie

Bound for the waves, the waves on the sea

Oh, I'm bound for the waves, the waves, dearest Annie

Bound for the waves, the captain calls me
