Lightnin Hopkins - Sail On, Little Girl, Sail On lyrics

rate me

Sail on, sail on, little girl, sail on

Well you know you gonna keep on a sailing,

Till you lose your happy home

You know I can remember

First day she sail away

Cryin', I gotta go now, Lightnin'

I ain't got no place to stay

Sail on, sail on, little girl, sail on

Well you gonna keep on a sailing

Till you lose your happy home

Sail on, sail on, little girl, sail on

Sail on, sail on, little girl, sail on

Well you know when you sail away,

Po' Lightnin' ain't gonna stay here long

Sail on

I remember last word she had to say

I remember last word she had to say

She said, "Lightnin', I'm figurin' to sail

I'm sailing on today"

Sail on
