Hoisted my sail, got the anchor inside
I hit the seas out high tide
There ain’t no place in this world I wanna’ call my home
I’m sailing, sailing the world alone
Did no good being on dry land;
Gonna’ try my luck as an old deck hand
Listen to that wind whistle and moan
Now I’m sailing, sailing the world alone
Brothers and sisters, I bid you farewell
Where destiny takes you, you never can tell
I’m headed into the great unknown
I’m sailing, sailing the world alone
I had a woman once, she done gone bad
She took it all, everything I had
Now I’m just an old dog that ain’t got no bone
I’m sailing, sailing the world alone
I reckon I’ll be gone a good long spell
Riding the waves from heaven to hell
Up on the deck, it’s gonna’ be my throne
Now I’m sailing, sailing the world alone
Brothers and sisters, I bid you farewell
Where destiny takes you, you never can tell
Headed into the great unknown
I’m sailing, sailing the world alone
Said goodbye to my friends and my enemies, too
I did my best, all that I can do
Everything that you gave me, let’s call it loan
While I’m sailing, sailing the world alone
While I’m sailing, sailing the world alone
While I’m sailing, sailing the world alone
While I’m sailing, sailing the world alone
