Lyrics

Well, the last man I was with Was a sailor on his leave; I took him home with me Took him to my bed and kept him there a week, O' If my eyes were any greener There wouldn't be a boy in town That I wouldn't be a-winkin' If I saw him comin' down. I'd catch 'em faster than they flee... From port to port they would report their first love ain't the sea! He left me tired and happy But he left me all the same! I cried at night and beat the mattress Cause he broke my heart and sailed away. O' If my eyes were any greener There wouldn't be a boy in town That I wouldn't be a-winkin' If I saw him comin' down. I'd catch 'em faster than they flee... From port to port they would report their first love ain't the sea! A sailor just off the boat is like a shiny apple in the tree But a sailor once he's bit into Is too easy for the likes of me... O' If my eyes were any greener There wouldn't be a boy in town That I wouldn't be a-winkin' If I saw him comin' down. I'd catch 'em faster than they flee... From port to port they would report their first love ain't the sea! Now I'm sure that I'm a lady, I go to church three times a year, It's only after drinking whiskey, My memory ain't clear! O' If my eyes were any greener There wouldn't be a boy in town That I wouldn't be a-winkin' If I saw him comin' down. I'd catch 'em faster than they flee... From port to port they would report their first love ain't the sea! Only god knows where I've been, only god knows what I've done! God knows the devil made me do it, God damn me it was fun! O' If my eyes were any greener There wouldn't be a boy in town That I wouldn't be a-winkin' If I saw him comin' down. I'd catch 'em faster than they flee... From port to port they would report their first love ain't the sea! There wouldn't be a boy in town That I wouldn't be a-winkin' If I saw him comin' down. I'd catch 'em faster than they flee... From port to port they would report their first love ain't the sea! How strange can one remember the things they shouldn't do, while stranger still are those we must forgive, who's sins are as white as new. O' If my eyes were any greener There wouldn't be a boy in town That I wouldn't be a-winkin' If I saw him comin' down. I'd catch 'em faster than they flee... From port to port they would report their first love ain't the sea! I know the truth of this world but it's always nice to lie... Because the only way to lose is to never have a try... [saxophone riff] [accordion solo] Green as blissful Eden, Green as bottled glass. Green as deepest waters, Green as greenest grass. As green as any Emerald, Green as hope before it greives. Green as the graves of those we love, Green as an autumn leaf! O' If my eyes were any greener There wouldn't be a boy in town That I wouldn't be a-winkin' If I saw him comin' down. I'd catch 'em faster than they flee... From port to port they would report their first love ain't the sea! (Outro) (instrumental)
