O' Sailor

I'm undecided about you again
 
 Mightn't be right that you're not here
 It's double-sided, 'cause I ruined it all
 But also saved myself by never believing you, dear
 
 Everything good I deem too good to be true
 Everything else is just a bore
 Everything I have to look forward to
 Has a pretty painful and very imposing before
 O' sailor, why'd you do it?
 What'd you do that for?
 Saying there's nothing to it
 And then letting it go by the boards
 O' sailor, why'd you do it?
 What'd you do that for?
 Saying there's nothing to it
 And then letting it go by the boards
 I have, too, been playing with 52 cards
 Just 'cause I play so far from my vest
 Whatever I've got, I've got no reason to guard
 What could I do but spend my best?
 O' sailor, why'd you do it?
 What'd you do that for?
 Saying there's nothing to it
 And then letting it go by the boards
 O' sailor, why'd you do it?
 What'd you do that for?
 Saying there's nothing to it
 And then letting it go by the boards
 And after waiting, fighting patiently on my knees
 All the other stuff tired itself out first, and not me
 And in its wake, appeared the touch and call
 Of a different breed
 One who set to get me wise, and got me there
 And then, got me

 Oh, what a thing, to know what could be instead
 Oh, what a blessed curse; to see
 It took the agenda from its place in my bed
 Made a merry paramour of me
 O' sailor, why'd you do it?
 What'd you do that for?
 Saying there's nothing to it
 And then letting it go by the boards
 O' sailor, why'd you do it?
 What'd you do that for?
 Giving me eyes to view it
 As it goes by the boards
