My honey dear, my honey dear,
you hear the steam boat whistle blowin'
My honey dear, my honey dear,
the whistle means I must be going
far across the sea,
hear them calling me,
it's the Captain's orders,
I must go, so

Kiss your sailor boy goodbye
now don't you cry
just dry that tear from your eye, my honey,
Don't feel so blue,
I'll write to you,
If I don't I hope to die
when I'm away
you bet I'll stay all by my ownsome,
real lonesome for you
Honey, sweet letters I'll be sending
with crosses on the ending
Kiss your sailor boy goodbye.

Kiss your sailor boy goodbye
now don't you cry
just dry that tear from your eye, my honey,
Don't feel so blue,
I'll write to you,
If I don't I hope to die
when I'm away
you bet I'll stay all by my ownsome,
real lonesome for you
Honey, sweet letters I'll be sending
with crosses on the ending
Kiss your sailor boy goodbye.

My honey dear, my honey dear,
you better save up all your lovin'
Remember dear, remember dear,
my heart'll be just like an oven,
when my ship comes in,
honey we'll begin
to make up for lost time,
don't forget, pet

Kiss your sailor boy goodbye
now don't you cry
just dry that tear from your eye, my honey,
Don't feel so blue,
I'll write to you,
If I don't I hope to die
when I'm away
you bet I'll stay all by my ownsome,
real lonesome for you
Honey, sweet letters I'll be sending
with crosses on the ending
Kiss your sailor boy goodbye.

Kiss your sailor boy goodbye
now don't you cry
just dry that tear from your eye, my honey,
Don't feel so blue,
I'll write to you,
If I don't I hope to die
when I'm away
you bet I'll stay all by my ownsome,
real lonesome for you
Honey, sweet letters I'll be sending
with crosses on the ending
Kiss your sailor boy goodbye.
