The Blond Sailor

Performed by Don Baker
Recorded c. 1942
Written by Mitchell Parish, Bell Leib, J. Pfeil

A girl and a sailor
Were parting one day
She smiled through her teardrops
And brushed them away
I wish I could stay here
He sighed soft and low
But duty is calling
And now I must go
Farewell, your blonde sailor must leave for awhile, dear
Farewell, send me off with a kiss & a smile, dear
My love & devotion
I will leave in your care
As deep as the ocean
And as true as a prayer
When my journey is over
You'll be waiting, I know
Farewell, my sweet darling, your blonde sailor must go
When my journey is over
You'll be waiting, I know
Farewell, my sweet darling, your blond sailor must go
