- Yesterday I saw a seabird wheeling light and low,
- Then she sailed off to the west,
- Like she was telling me the way to go,
- If I has her wings my love I´d me with you tonight,
- But my last hope has gone, it´s drifting out of sight,
- Wait for me,
- Dm
Am
- Oh sailor, take me to her,
- Bb
Dm
- Sailor, take me home...

- Oh my darling wait for me, ´cos I will be there,
