Whoa Sailor ~ Hank Thomson ~ Lyrics & Chords

[A] I'll tell you 'bout 

my [E7] night on shore, 

if [A] you will lend an [E7] ear

I [B7]stepped into a cabaret 

to get myself a [E7] beer

A [A]pretty girl sat all alone 

and needed compa- [E7] -ny

When [B7] I got close, this gal arose, 

this is what she said to [E7] me

Now she said [A] whoa sailor, 

be [A7] careful what you [D] do

In your eye there's a gleam, 

and to me it seems, 

your [A] just like all the [F#] rest, 

with a [B7] wolfish eye, 

and a line that's sly, 

a [E7] salior's at his [A] best.

[A] Now look here babe, 

you've [E7] got me wrong , 

I'm [A] not that sort of [E7] guy

I [B7] just got back, 

from across the sea, 

where there are no gals [E7] arie.

Now [A] let me talk to you a while, 

I'm sure you'll see my [E7] way

When I [B7] went to spout, 

she turned about, 

this is what she had to [E7] say

Now she said [A] whoa sailor, 

I've [A7] heard that line be- [D] -fore

You'll look into my eyes, and tell me lies,  

and [A] tales of the seven [F#] seas,

But a [B7] sailor's full, of that kinda bull, 

so [E7] don't hand it to [A] me

[A] Oh pretty girl 

you've [E] let me down 

you've [A] broken my poor [E7] heart

And [B7] oh how it hurt, 

when you had to spurt, 

that last sad re- [E7] -mark

I [A] said I think, I have a drink, 

and I broke out six month's [E7] pay

With [B7] wide open eyes, 

she breathed a sigh, 

this time she had to [E7] say

Now she said [A] oh sailor boy, 

I [A7] think you've won my [D] heart

Well she was right neat, 

and she sure was sweet, 

but I [A] knew she was that [F#] sort.

But she's [B7] not all to blame, 

'cause it's a sailor's aim, 

to have a [E7] girl in every [A] port.
