    A              E7
When my man goes to sea

  A                 E7
He steps so high and free

 A                 E7                 A               E7
I think I know as I watch him go that he has no need for me

   A  E7  A  E7
For me


   A                 E7
And when my man comes home

   A                E7
And waits a while to roam

 A                   E7                   A               E7
I think I see when he smiles at me that he's dreaming of the foam

   A    E7  A  E7
The foam


   D7          G
I'm not a pious Christian

 D7           G
I do not go to mass

     C       F      C
But I pray to Father Neptune

  Dm             A
To let him safely pass



E7    A                        E7
I.... sing to the God with the three-pronged rod

       A                 D7
And the whiskers wild and free

    A                     E7
That I've got a man with a beard and tan

     D7              A
And a passion for the sea


A                    E7           A            E7
He rides through the storm, and the cold and the warm

      A                 D7
And he loves to risk his neck

     A       E7         A      E7
And I like to know when he goes below

         A      E7    A
That it's just below the deck



  D7              G
Oh Neptune, Father Neptune

 D7                G
I tell you fair and true

       C          F       C
That if you should lose my sailor

    Dm              A
I'll sing no more to you



E7        A                   E7
When he's home from sea he is half with me

        A                     D7
And he's gone when I close the door

        A                       E7
And it's still his creed that he has no need

     D7          A
For a wife except onshore



 A           E7      A          E7
I know it's a boat that keeps him afloat

     A                  D7
But I like to think it's me

   A                     G7
And if it were not for this

       F7            E7           
I would sink to the depths of the

   A         E7    A         E7     A
  sea
