I'm undecided about toi again
Mightn't be right that you're not here
It's double-sided, cause I ruined it all
- But also saved myself, par never believing you, Dear

Everything good, I deem too good to be true
Everything else is just a bore
Everything I have to look vers l'avant, vers l’avant to
Has a pretty painful and very imposing before

O' Sailor, why'd toi do it
What'd toi do that for
Saying there's nothing to it
And then letting it go par the boards

O' Sailor, why'd toi do it
What'd toi do that for
Saying there's nothing to it
And then letting it go par the boards

I have too been playing with fifty-two cards
- Just cause I play so far from my vest
Whatever I've got, I've got no reason to guard
What could I do, but spend my best

O' Sailor, why'd toi do it
What'd toi do that for
Saying there's nothing to it
And then letting it go par the boards

O' Sailor, why'd toi do it
What'd toi do that for
Saying there's nothing to it
And then letting it go par the boards

And after waiting, fighting patiently on my knees
All the other stuff tired itself out first, not me
And in its wake, appeared the touch and call
Of a different breed
One who set to get me wise, and got me there
And then, got me

And what a thing, to know what could be instead
Oh, what a blessed curse; to see
It took the agenda from its place in my bed
Made a merry paramour of me

O' Sailor, why'd toi do it
What'd toi do that for
Saying there's nothing to it
And then letting it go par the boards
O' sailor, why'd toi do it
What'd toi do that for
Giving me eyes to view it
As it goes par the boards
