Sailboat for Sale

I'm floating in my boat

Not the one I used to fish in

But the boat I sit in wishin'

I was still floating on my fishing boat

And I'm out here on this river

Really it's just a creek

But it's a river when I drink

So I'm drinking on my river boat

I could sail to the ocean

If the wind would come and get me

But I ain't goin' nowhere quickly

I'm just a drunkin' sailor

Waiting on a gale

With a drink in my hand and a sailboat for sale

Aye

Aye

An old pirate sold me on it

We traded straight across

The boat I thought I wanted

For the boat I hate I'd lost

She'll sing when that wind whistles

When it doesn't, well she don't

Just ask that old pirate

That's floatin' on my river boat

I could sail to the ocean

If the wind would come and get me

But I ain't goin' nowhere quickly

I'm just a drunkin' sailor

Waiting on a gale

With a drink in my hand and a sailboat for sale

Never make a handshake deal

While sharing someone's bottle

Never buy a boat, son

That doesn't have a throttle

Aye

Aye

I could sail to the ocean

If the wind would come and get me

But I ain't goin' nowhere quickly

I'm just a drunkin' sailor

Waiting on a gale

With a drink in my hand and a sailboat for sale

I've got a sailboat for sale

Aye

Aye
