A Sailor’s Star

(A Sailor’s Lulluby)

 

(CHORUS)

 

A Sailor must sail

          By the stars in the sky,

Give me a star

          That’s ever so high

I’ll sail to the moon,

          Then right on by

Just give me

          A star

                   A star

                             In

                                      The sky.

(END CHORUS)

 

I dreamt of the sea,

          And told my Dad,

He said to me,

          “Some advice

                   Here m’lad.

Casiopea and Orion

          They’ll be friends

You will rely on.

          Navigate by stars

                   Make them your friends,

They’ll lead you from here

          To where

                   The world ends,

Where e’er you go

          To strange

                   Distant lands

 

You’ll never be lost

          With a sextant

                   In your hands.”

 

(CHORUS)

 

Now I’ve seen the world,

          Been in every port

I’ve shipmates a plenty

          Met those of e’vry sort

But at night

          On the deck

In calm or

          In tempest

Above

          Are the ones

Who keep me

          The safest

 

(CHORUS)
