Lyrics The Sleepless Sailor - Kate Rusby

The Sleepless Sailor

I once was a sailor, a young man and brave
Da da dum, da da dum dee
My nights were once sleepless,
My peace I would crave
Carry me home to the sea
Da da dum day, da da dum dee
Drift away sailor boys on the deep sea
Worry no more for you’re safe now with me Rest in my arms and my sweet melody
One night as I’m stood on the deck in the rain
Da da dum, da da dum dee
I heard a sweet voice and she’s singing my name
Carry me back to the sea
Chorus
Oh rock me so gently now ocean so deep
Da da dum, da da dum dee
I wish I was back, cause I think I can’t sleep
Carry me home to the sea
Chorus
