Lyrics:

Sailor man, stay away from me daughter
I'm telling you sailor man, stay away from me daughter
You come and go as free as wind blows over the water
I ought to know, I once was a sailor man

Sailor man stay away from me daughter
She always keeps in mind everything her mother taught her
And you will never want to leave if once you caught her
I ought to know, I ought to know 
It happened to me when I was a sailor man
I ought to know it happened to me when I was a sailor man
Sailor man stay away from me daughter
