I'll Sail My Ship Alone Lyrics by George Jones

I'll Sail My Ship Alone

Written by S. Nathan, H. Thurston, H. Bernard & M. Burns

[As performed by Ray Price]

We've been sweethearts for so long
Now you say we're thru
The love we shared is just a memory
Well I had built a ship of dreams
And planned them all for you
Now I guess what is to be will be

So I'll sail my ship alone
With all the dreams I own
Drifting out across the ocean blue
I'll sail my ship alone
Tho' all the sails are torn
And when it starts to sink then I'll blame you

I gave a message to the wind
To take back home to you
Hoping you would hear my S-O-S
Hoping that you would come back home
My darling if you knew
Just how much my heart was in distress

[Repeat chorus]

When it starts to sink then I'll blame you


[As released by Patsy Cline, October 28, 1963]

We've been sweethearts for so long
But now you say we're thru
The love we shared is now a memory
I have built a ship of dreams
And planned them all for you
But now I guess what is to be, will be

[chorus]
I'll sail my ship alone
With all the dreams I own
Drifting out across the ocean blue
Yes, I'll sail my ship alone
Tho' all the sails you've torn
And when it starts to sinkin'
I'll blame you

Now, I gave a message to the wind
To take back home to you
Hoping you would hear my S-O-S
I thought that you would come back home
My darlin', if you knew
How much my achin' heart was in distress

Well,
REPEAT CHORUS
