A sailor, he's home with the tide His boat is tied safe in the harbor
He's got nothing to hide, anyone can go look it over
He buys the wine, and we don't ask the question
This time, this time, he buys the wine
A sailor, he's home from the sea Lost in the music and laughter
His lady love sits on his knee Showing the bracelet he bought her
He buys the wine, and we don't ask the question
This time, this time, he buys the wine
The sailor, he's talking too much Telling us more than we're asking
His lady love smiles at his touch And her blouse, it's becoming unfastened
The sailor, he laughs on the floor And if you want his girl, you can have her
The bartender's locking the door And the party can go on forever
He buys the wine, and we don't ask the question
This time, this time, he buys the wine
We don't ask the question
This time, this time, he buys the wine
And we don't ask the question
This time, this time, he buys the wine
And we don't ask the question
This time, this time, he buys the wine
And we don't ask the question
