My gal gon' sail

To some foreign distant land

My gal gon' sail

To some foreign distant land

An I'm gon' be

Some other woman's man

Said on, sail on, little girl, sail on

Go on, sail on, little girl, sail on

You gon' keep on sailin'

'Till you lose yo' happy home

When that mean old train

Carried my gal away, befo'

When that mean old train

Carried my gal away, befo'

I was young and wild

People, I didn't know

I could change my mind

And love somebody else

I could change my mind

And love somebody else

I lived in mis'ry

But I brought it on, myself

(piano & guitar)

But I'm so glad

I don't feel that way, no mo'

But I'm so glad

I don't feel that way, no mo'

If she can stand to leave me

I can stand to see her go.
