Oh, so handsome
Oh, so strong
Tell me stories of distant shores all night long
I shiver all over when I see your lovely tan
And I can tell by your clear blue eyes you're a sailor man

Oh, sailor man from polar land
Oh, sailor man come take my hand
Oh, sailor man take me along
Show me the Port-Au-Prince and Hong Kong

Oh, sailor man I sure hope you don't drown
I'd rather have you showing me Cape Town
You know your way from New York to York where we can go to bars
A strong, blonde, handsome sailor man, Norwegians call you Lars

Oh, sailor man from polar land
Oh, sailor man come take my hand
Oh, sailor man I'd gladly die
To see the ports of Rostock and Shanghai

Sailor Man
Oh, sailor man
Please take my hand
Oh, tender sailor man
