Verse 1
(C major)
When I first went with
Uncle Sam
I thought that I was a mighty ram (G major)
(C major) I jumped up on a big marine
He whipped me till my
face turned green
That's the life of a sailor man,
he (G major) has to (C major) do the best he can
That's the life of a sailor man,
he (G major) has to (C major) do the best he can (G major) (C major)
I found me a girl in Baltimore,
she (G major) gave me the (C major) key to her back
door (G major) (C major) (G major) (C major)
That's the life of a sailor man,
he (G major) has to (C major) do the Bench -Key -Gang
That's the life of a sailor man,
he (G major) has to (C major) do the Bench -Key -Gang (G major)
(C major) I found me a babe in New Orleans
She was one of them Cajun queens (G major) (C major)
We danced all night at the Roosevelt
I lost my girl and my money belt
That's the life of a sailor man
He (G major) has to (C major) do the best he can
That's the life of a sailor man,
he (G major) has to (C major) do the best he can
When I was in Los Angeles,
I found me a blonde that I loved to squeeze
I asked her if she'd marry me,
but she had a husband on the sea
That's the life of a sailor man,
he (G major) has to (C major) do the best he can
That's the life of a sailor man,
he has to do the best he can
We landed in Eureka Bay
and I found me a (G major) lovely (C major) moose a mate
She said she never liked Japan
until she found a sailor man
That's the life of a sailor man,
he has to do the best he can
That's the life of a sailor man,
he (G major) has to (C major) do the best he can
When I put up my twenty years,
I ain't gonna shed no salty tears
Find me a woman if I can,
who understands a sailor man
That's the life of a sailor man,
he has to do the best he can
That's the life of a sailor man,
he has to do the best he can.
