I Saw A Ship A Sailing 1937

Yesterday I wandered
down by the river shore,
And I got a homesick feeling
Like I never had before.

For,

I saw a ship a sailing
a sailing out to sea
and it made me
dream of you, sweetheart,
waiting for me.
I saw a ship a sailing
and I recalled the day
with your kisses warm
upon my lips,
I sailed away.
If only my cargo of dreams
would come home
I'd be in your arms again
never more to roam
I saw a ship a sailing
away out on the blue
and I sent my heart
and all my love
sailing to you.

I saw a ship a sailing
a sailing out to sea
and it made me
dream of you, sweetheart,
waiting for me.
I saw a ship a sailing
and I recalled the day
with your kisses warm
upon my lips,
I sailed away.
If only my cargo of dreams
would come home
I'd be in your arms again
never more to roam
I saw a ship a sailing
away out on the blue
and I sent my heart
and all my love
sailing to you.
