lyrics

Mothers don’t let your daughters grow up to be sailors, all there’re going to find in this life is sand and sin.
If they’re going to go sail head for open waters, because ocean water ain’t for sinking heart strings in

If they’re gonna go sail stay off the bayou, that’s where I saw my uncle tony Joe go in, The gator must’ve smelled the cocaine stuck in his boot strings, took his leg and then I never saw him again

If I’m gonna find my way back to the shore-line, don’t you know I’d find it if the sun may shine,
Gonna find my way back to it, by a crook or buy a telephone but, got to find my way back to my Caroline,

(Whistles)

So, Mothers don’t let your daughters grow up to be sailors, all they’re gonna find in this life is sand and sin,

If they’re gonna go sail stay on the sweet side, ocean waters ain’t for sinking heart strings in
Ocean water ain’t for sinking heart strings in
