I've been sailing, I've been sailing so so long,
I've been loving, I've been loving so so long,

Oh but the joke was on me,
Because she set me free, I didn't realise,
But the joke was on me,
Because she set me free, I didn't realise,

I've been sailing, I've been sailing so so long,
I've been loving, I've been loving so so hard,

Oh but the joke was on me,
Because she set me free, I didn't realise,
But the joke was on me,
Because she set me free, I didn't realise,

I ride on a mailtrain honey, I can't buy me no thrill,
I'll be up all night long, waiting on your window sill,
And if I should die on top of the hill,
If I don't make it, you know my baby will,
Don't the moon look good shining through the trees,
Oh love don't my girl look fine when she's looking back at me.
