I sailed an ocean , unsettled ocean
Through restful waters and deep commotion
Often frightened, unen lightened
Sail on, sail on sailor
I wrest the wat ers, fight Neptune's waters
Sail through the sorro ws of life's mara uders
Unre penting, often empty
Sail on, sail on sailor
Caught like a sewer rat a lone but I sail
Bought like a crust of bread, oh do I wail
Seldom stum ble, never crum ble
Try to tum ble, life's a rum ble
Feel the sting ing I've been giv en
Never end ing, unrel en ting
Heartbreak sear ing, always fear ing
Never car ing, perse ver ing
Sail on, sail on, sailor
I work the sea ways, the gale-swept seaways
Past shipwrecked daughters of wicked waters
Unins pired, drenched and tired
Wail on, wail on, sailor
Always need ing, even bleed ing
Never feed ing all my feel ings
Damn the thun der, must I blun der
There's no won der all I'm un der
Stop the cry ing and the ly ing
And the sigh ing and my dy ing
Sail on, sail on, sailor
Sail on, sail on, sailor
Sail on, sail on, sailor
Sail on, sail on, sailor
