|A |./. |./.
SONNY LIVES ON A FARM, IN A WIDE OPEN SPACE. TAKE OFF YOUR SHOES,
| | |./.
STAY OUT OFF THE RACE. LAY DOWN YOUR HEAD, WITH A SOFT RIVER BED.
| | (2-count)|
SONNY ALWAYS REMEMBERS, WORDS MAMMA SAID.
======================================================================CHORUS:
|A |./. |./. |
SONNY DON’T GO AWAY, I’M HERE ALL ALONE, YOUR DADDY’S A SAILOR,
| |./.
NEVER COMES HOME. NIGHTS ARE SO LONG, SILENCE GOES ON,
| | (2-count) |
I’M FEELING SO TIRED. I’M NOT ALL THAT STRONG.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------2:
|A |./. |./.
SONNY WORKS ON THE LAND, THOUGH HE’S BEARLY A MAN, THERE’S NOT MUCH TO DO,
| | |./. |
BUT HE DOES WHAT HE CAN. SITS BY HIS WINDOW, IN HIS ROOM BY THE STAIRS,
| (2-count)|
WATCHING THE WAVES, DRIFTING SOFT AND A-PEAR.
======================================================================CHORUS:
|A |./. |./. |
SONNY DON’T GO AWAY, I’M HERE ALL ALONE, YOUR DADDY’S A SAILOR,
| |./.
NEVER COMES HOME. NIGHTS ARE SO LONG, SILENCE GOES ON,
| | (2-count) | |
I’M FEELING SO TIRED. I’M NOT ALL THAT STRONG.

MANY YEARS HAVE ROLLED ON, SONNY’S OLD AND ALONE, HIS DADDY’S A SAILOR,

NEVER CAME HOME. SOMETIMES HE WONDERS, WHAT HIS LIFE MIGHT HAVE BEEN,

STILL FROM OLD GRAVES, MUMMY’S VOICE HUMMS HIS DREAM.
======================================================================CHORUS:
|A |./. |./. |
SONNY DON’T GO AWAY, I’M HERE ALL ALONE, YOUR DADDY’S A SAILOR,

NEVER COMES HOME. NIGHTS ARE SO LONG, SILENCE GOES ON,

I’M FEELING SO TIRED. I’M NOT ALL THAT STRONG.
