My old man, he?s been around the world
And he tells me everything
He taught me how to tie a sailor?s knot
And maybe how to sing
And though I?m a man and I?ve got it together
He still knows what to do
He say come on and sail the waterway
It feels so good on you
Come on and sail the waterway
It feels so good on you
You know the tide is high
And the westward wind won't quit ya
Well you know what you got to do
?cause the time is right
And the tide will wait for you
Come on and sail the waterway with me, darlin?
