"I Once Loved A Sailor" lyrics - CHARLIE POOLE

I once loved a sailor, once a sailor loved me
He was not the sailor that sailed o'er the wide foaming sea
He owned an airship, sailed like the bird on the wing
Every evening when the sun drew near
He'd fly to my window and sing:

Come take a trip in my airship,
Come take a sail round the stars
Come take a trip in through Venus,
Come have a sail 'round to Mars
No one to see while we're kissing,
No one to tell while we spoon
Come take a trip in my airship
And we'll visit the man in the moon
