Lyrics
Chorus
She was just a sailor’s Sweetheart
And she loved her sailor lad
But he left her broke in Hartford
He was all she ever had
But she still believes in sailors
And she’s true to the Red, White and Blue
And altho’ she’s barred
From the Navy yard
Oh! she loves her sailor boy
Positively!
Chorus
She was just a sailor’s Sweetheart
And she loved her sailor lad
But he left her broke in Hartford
He was all she ever had
But she still believes in sailors
And she’s true to the Red, White and Blue
And tho’ she got sore
When he broke her jaw
Oh! she loves her sailor boy
Absolutely!
