Yankee Sailor |
| We were poor |
| But I was satisfied |
| And I thought that you were, too |
| You were pure |
| And I was terrified |
| I wasn’t good enough for you |
| When they sailed |
| Into the harbour |
| I could see it in your eyes |
| I knew |
| That you were dreaming |
| Of leaving me behind |
| You say «America is beautiful» |
| And I sure hope you’re right |
| If I could see you across the water |
| I’d say «America is beautiful tonight» |
| I’d say «America is beautiful tonight» |
| When I met |
| That Yankee sailor |
| He stood tall and shook my hand |
| He took pleasure |
| In the moment |
| In the measure of a man |
| Then he turned |
| And left me standing |
| And he asked you out to dance |
| But when you met |
| That Yankee sailor |
| I knew I didn’t stand a chance |
| You say «America is beautiful» |
| And I sure hope you’re right |
| If I could see you across the water |
| I’d say «America is beautiful tonight» |
| I’d say «America is beautiful tonight» |
| Beautiful tonight |
| We were poor |
| But I was satisfied |
| And I thought that you were, too |
| You were pure |
| And I was terrified |
| I wasn’t good enough for you |
| You say «America is beautiful» |
| And I sure hope you’re right |
| If I could see you across the water |
| I’d say «America is beautiful tonight» |
| I’d say «America is beautiful tonight» |
| I’d say «America is beautiful tonight» |
