Sailor

You ain't gonna get me honey no way

Tearing down the highway

In the pouring rain

Escaping from my wedding day

I heard the bells ringing

In the local church

The ceremony's nearly under way

Telegrams came and the cheap champagne

Was driving everybody out of their brains

I convinced my best friends

I lost my nerver

And I pleaded I was being framed

Sailor show me which way to go

I screamed out loud

Sailor show me which way to go

Such a deadly silence due to my defiance

The wedding ground to a halt

Said I changed my mind

Ain't no use in your trying

So her brother punched me in the throat

Her mother got hysterical the b**ch was cynical

Father's in the corner drunk

Picking myself off the floor

I ran to the door

Down the fire escape and on my way

Sailor show me which way to go

You should have heard the noise

Said Sailor show me which way to go

So keep clean girlie

Find a man that's truly

Gonna love you

From dusk till dawn

Keep your front door key

Don't give him up for me

'Cause tomorrow I may be gone

You see your would be keeper's

Still an all night creeper

Nobody gonna change him now

Who thinks a marriage license

Should be like a dog's license

So let's renew it

When the year runs out

Sailor show me which way to go

Sailor show me which way to go

She had a body full of lust

But she had no bust
