Vahevala Lyrics - Singles - Loggins & Messina

I'm thinking about when I was a sailor 

Spent my time on the open seas 

When we'd stay off the coast of Jamaica 

I'd secretly steal ashore 

The natives were waiting for 

The boy with the lazy soul 

To sing with the sailor 

Vahevala, homeless sailor 

Vahevala, homeward sail away 

Vahevala, homeless sailor 

Vahevala, homeward sail away 

Every evening I'd be gone 

Back on board by break of dawn 

I'm thinking about the nights in Jamaica 

Pretty girls dancin' here and there 

Stole a keg and now I'm drunk as a sailor 

The captain he don't know 

Where Billy he done go 

Singing with native girls 

The songs of a sailor 

Vahevala, homeless sailor 

Vahevala, homeward sail away 

Vahevala, homeless sailor 

Vahevala, homeward sail away 

Every single, single way 

Gotta be back on board by break of day 

Every night in Jamaica 

I'd sing with the lady 

And drink with the men till the morning appear 

Healthy sunshine 

Is fresh on my face 

As the songs of the night puts 

The ring in my ear 

Vahevala, homeless sailor 

Vahevala, homeward sail away 

Vahevala, homeless sailor 

Vahevala, homeward sail away 

Every sailor sail away 

Gotta be back on board by break of 

Vahevala, homeless sailor 

Vahevala, homeward sail away 

Vahevala, homeless sailor 

Vahevala, homeward sail away
