[00:00.00]Hank Thompson Whoa Sailor - THOMPSON HANK
[00:12.80]I'll tell you about my night on shore
[00:15.10]If you will lend an ear
[00:17.43]I stepped into a cabaret to get myself a beer
[00:22.07]A pretty girl sat all alone and needed company
[00:26.66]But when I got close
[00:27.86]This girl a rose this is what she said to me
[00:30.67]Now she said whoa sailor be careful what you do
[00:37.09]In your eye there's a gleam
[00:38.31]And to me it seems your just like all the rest
[00:41.58]With a wolfish eye and a line
[00:43.44]That's sly then a salior's at his best
[00:54.62]Now look here babe you've got me wrong
[00:56.85]I'm not that kinda guy
[00:59.08]I just got back from across the seas
[01:01.46]Where there are no gals arie
[01:03.81]Now let me talk to you a while
[01:06.13]I'm sure you'll see my way
[01:08.40]But when I went to spout she turned about this is
[01:10.88]What she had to say
[01:12.40]Now she said whoa sailor
[01:15.45]I've heard that line before
[01:18.97]You'll look into my eyes and tell me lies
[01:21.23]And tales of the seven seas
[01:23.53]But a sailor's full of that kinda bull so don't hand it to me
[01:36.36]Oh pretty girl you've let me down
[01:38.61]You've broken my poor heart
[01:40.96]And oh how it hurt
[01:42.06]When you had to spurt that last sad remark
[01:45.54]I said I think I'll have a drink
[01:47.89]And I broke out six month's pay
[01:50.18]With a wide open eyes she breathed a sigh
[01:52.51]This time she had to say
[01:54.14]Now she said whoa sailor
[01:57.15]I think you've won my heart
[02:00.54]Well she was right neat and she sure was sweet
[02:02.84]But I knew she was that sort
[02:04.96]She's not all to blame
[02:06.29]Cause it's a sailor's aim to have a girl in every port
