It's better my darling, I promise you this

Well, you know I'm a sailor, tomorrow we sail

It's a hard way of living, but I know it well

You can marry another, it's alright with me

          F                    G            Am
Though we won't be together again 'til the spring
       F                        G
Just imagine the treasures I'll bring
