[chorus]
I've got the Bell Bottom Blues
'Cause my sweetie is a sailor
And he's sailing somewhere on the sea
I got the Bell Bottom Blues
'Cause I'm crazy 'bout a sailor
And I don't know when he's comin' back to me
I shake my head and refuse
when the fellers' come a-callin'
And they want to take me on a date
I got the Bell Bottom Blues
while the other gals are fallin'
I just sit around the livin' room and wait
I wonder if he's lookin'
at the same moon I'm lookin' at
Ev'ry night I'm lookin' at the moon.
I know that if he's prayin'
for the same thing I'm prayin' for
We'll be together soon
I got the Bell Bottom Blues
just a-waitin' for a letter
Heaven knows I'm lonely as can be
I got the Bell Bottom Blues
and I won't be feelin' better
Till my sailor boy comes sailin' home to me.
