Jerry Jeff Walker Sailing Lyrics

Sailing Lyrics

Jerry Jeff Walker



Spoken:

Well, there I am in Mexico, man,

I'm sittin' on a big hot rock with the blues,

Watchin' this sailboat drive by, and I'm wonderin', "Where's
mine?"

Hell, I know where there's ship in a bottle,

I mean a schooner with a worm on board, yeah.



Chorus:

I think I'm gonna go off sailing

I think I'm gonna go off sailing

I think I'm gonna go off sailing

Cause I've been on dry land too long



Something I seen here seems to make me seasick

Something I seen here seems to make me seasick

Something I seen here seems to make me seasick

And I been on dry land too long



Roll on



Chorus



Leeches, land sharks, octopuses make my brain hurt

Land sharks, octopuses make my brain hurt

Yea, and I've been on dry land too long



Ship in a bottle

Chorus



Sail on, sail on



Chorus



Let's carry on



Chorus



I need a ship in a bottle



Chorus
