If I had been born
200 years ago
Well I would've been a sailor
A-sailing I would go
I'd sail around the capes and across the seven seas
And then back home
If I had been born
200 years ago

And I would know the waters
And the waters would know me
And I would cut across the waves
And be as happy as can be
I'd be landless, I'd be loveless
I'd be flight and fancy free
And I would know the waters
And the waters would know me

When I think about the time
And place where I was born
Oh, I wonder if the hands of fate
Had slipped and placed me wrong
Because there are ships I could have sailed
And sailor's boots I could have worn
When I think about the time
And place where I was born

The ocean is still out there
Magnificent and wide
She's got open arms to hold me
And endless space to hide
And the only things that hold me back
Are the things I hold inside
The ocean is still out there
Magnificent and wide

Oh, oh, oh
A-sailing I should go
