Sunny sailor boy Turf |

On a day of days I stood and gazed over the western sea Startled and struck, frightened to look When a mermaid called to me Chorus: Ooh-wah Ooh-wah-Ooh, my sunny sailor boy Ooh-wah Ooh-wah-Ooh, my sunny sailor boy Like a man in a dream, for an age it seemed I stood as still as a stone While the mermaid sang and her melody rang Like a memory calling me home Chorus Then the sea and the wind and the shores did spin Though my resistance was strong All the stars in space filled the mermaid's face She captured my will with her song Chorus Somehow I spoke, the enchantment broke I rubbed my eyes open wide Lika a dream she was gone What remained was a song borne on the ebbing tide Chorus
