Wood ronnie sailor lyrics

You ain't gonna get me honey no way

Tearing down the highway in the pouring rain 

Escaping from my wedding day 

I heard the bells ringing in the local church 

the ceremony's nearly under way 

Telegrams came and the cheap champagne 

Was driving everybody out of their brains 

But I convinced my best friends I lost my nerve 

and I pleaded I was being framed 



"Sailor show me which way to go" 

I screamed out loud 

"Sailor show me which way to go" 



Such a deadly silence 

due to my defiance 

the wedding ground to a halt 

Said I changed my mind 

ain't no use in your trying 

so her brother punched me in the throat 

her mother got hysterical 

the bitch was cynical father's in the corner drunk 

Picking myself off the floor 

I ran to the door 

damned if I was skippin' on my way 



"Sailor show me which way to go" 

You should have heard the noise 

Said "Sailor show me which way to go" 



So keep clean girlie 

find a man that's truly gonna love you 

from dusk till dawn 

Keep your front door key 

don't give him up for me 

'cause tomorrow I may be gone 

You see, your would be keepers  

. . . all night creepin' 

nobody gonna change in there 

Who thinks a marriage life should be like a dog's life 

so let's renew it when the year runs out 



Sailor show me which way to go 

Sailor show me which way to go
