i ll sail my ship alone

George Jones

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,
