Lyrics
IF I WERE A SAILOR V1 If I were a sailor I would brave the briny seas for you If I were a tailor I would sew a silken gown for you If I were a jailer I would pass the prison key to you Chorus [But] I am just a poor man Standing in the dust Outside your door Courting you with daisies Hoping you’ll be mine Forevermore V2 I am not a sailor But I’ll carry water home for you I am not a tailor But I’ll praise the faded gown on you I am not a jailer And I’ll never put a lock on you Chorus [No] I am just a poor man Standing in the dust Outside your door Courting you with daisies Hoping you’ll be mine Forevermore Instrumental solo V3 Let me be your sailor [And] at night we’ll roam the seven seas Let me be your tailor [And] in dreams you’ll don such finery [But] I’ll never be your jailer So you will never need a key from me Chorus [For] I am just a poor man Standing in the dust Outside your door Courting you with daisies Hoping you’ll be mine Forevermore Courting you with daisies Hoping you’ll be mine Forevermore © 2011 Donna Devine
