I'll Sail My Ship Alone — George Jones

Written by S. Nathan, H. Thurston, H. Bernard & M. Burns

We've been sweethearts for so long Now you say we're thru The love we shared is just a memory Well I had built a ship of dreams And planned them all for you Now I guess what is to be will be

So I'll sail my ship alone With all the dreams I own Drifting out across the ocean blue I'll sail my ship alone Tho' all the sails are torn And when it starts to sink then I'll blame you

I gave a message to the wind To take back home to you Hoping you would hear my S-O-S Hoping that you would come back home My darling if you knew Just how much my heart was in distress

(Repeat chorus)

When it starts to sink then I'll blame you

We've been sweethearts for so long But now you say we're thru The love we shared is now a memory I have built a ship of dreams And planned them all for you But now I guess what is to be, will be

Chorus

I'll sail my ship alone With all the dreams I own Drifting out across the ocean blue Yes, I'll sail my ship alone Tho' all the sails you've torn And when it starts to sinkin' I'll blame you

Now, I gave a message to the wind To take back home to you Hoping you would hear my S-O-S I thought that you would come back home My darlin', if you knew How much my achin' heart was in distress

Well, REPEAT CHORUS
