Sailor Man Sail On

Sailor Man Sail On

You gave us so many songs of the ocean, across the islands from sea to sea

Sailing ships full of pirates from around this old world, used to be a big mystery

So let's raise a tall glass to the captain steadfast may the wind at your sails never cease

With a chart in one hand and more rum 'til we land, you brought the big kid out in me.

Sail on sail on, sailor man sail on if you can

One foot in the sand of a new stretch of land, a coral reef is where you're meant to be.

Sail on sail on, sailor man sail on if you can

You found paradise, had a wonderful life, you'll always be a treasure to me.

You searched for that shaker of salt 'til the end, marveled the most I believe

Filled many a book with your yarns and great hooks, kept time with a cool ocean breeze

So let's set sail at last with the tallest of masts, may the sway of your ship never ease

Cross the deck with a limp cause your flipflops are spent, you blew 'em out leaving the beach

Sail on sail on, sailor man sail on if you can

One foot in the sand of a new stretch of land, a coral reef is where you're meant to be.

Sail on sail on, sailor man sail on if you can

You found paradise, had a wonderful life, you'll always be a treasure to me.

Alas you have made it to your final cast, a simple farewell would be good for most

And the souls you have touched with your stories about a salty life down on the coast

I hope you see what you mean to others and me, we'll hold your mantra up high

A margarita or two for the captain in you, 'round the world there was heard a great sigh

Sail on sail on, sailor man sail on if you can

One foot in the sand of a new stretch of land, a coral reef is where you're meant to be

Sail on sail on, sailor man sail on if you can

You found paradise, had a wonderful life you'll always be a treasure to me.

Sail on sail on, sailor man sail on if you can.

One foot in the sand a margarita in hand, a coral reef is where you're meant to be

Sail on sail on, sailor man sail on if you can

You found paradise, had a wonderful life you've always been a treasure to me.
