Popeye The Sailor Man

(Kinky Friedman & Panama Red)
My heart is on my sleeve,
Do you still believe ?
Are you listenin¡¯ to the tide roll in, watchin¡¯ ships at sea ?
When I come sailin¡¯ home again will you be there for me,
There for me ?
Treasure ships of yore
Grace the ocean floor
Columbus sailed for Italy, Columbus sailed for Spain.
Columbus sailed a wishin¡¯ well, Columbus died in chains,
Died in chains.
I don¡¯t pretend to know every answer
To everything that life may ask of me.
Hey, I¡¯m Popeye the sailor man
I¡¯m Popeye the sailor man
Hey, Popeye the sailor man
And I sail the lonely sea eternally.
My true love calls to me from far across the sea.
She says, ¡°Red skies in the mornin¡¯
Sailor take warnin¡¯
Sail with me tonight
Sailor¡¯s delight, sailor¡¯s delight.¡±
I don¡¯t pretend to know every answer
To everything that life may ask of me.
Hey, I¡¯m Popeye the sailor man
Popeye the sailor man,
Popeye the sailor man
And I sail the lonely sea eternally.
She said, ¡°Popeye the sailor man
Popeye the sailor man
Oh, Popeye the sailor man
Sail on home to me, come sail with me.¡±
