Sunny sailor boy — The Waterboys

On a day of days I stood and gazed over the western sea I was completely dazed wide-mouthed and amazed when a mermaid called to me

Oh-wo-oh-wo-oh Oh-wo-oh-wo-oh-wo My sunny sailor boy

Like a man in a dream for an age it seemed I stood as still as a stone while the creature sang and her melody rang like a memory calling me home

Oh-wo-oh-wo-oh Oh-wo-oh-wo-oh-wo My sunny sailor boy
