1st verse:]
My honey dear, my honey dear
You hear the steamboat whistle blowin'
My honey dear, my honey dear
The whistle means I must be going
Far across the sea
Hear them calling me
It's the Captain's orders
I must go
So
[chorus:]
Kiss your sailor boy goodbye
Now don't you cry
Just dry that tear from your eye, my honey
Don't feel so blue
I'll write to you
If I don't I hope to die
When I'm away
You bet I'll stay
All by my "own-some," real lonesome for you
Honey
Sweet letters I'll be sending
With crosses on the ending
Kiss your sailor boy goodbye
[2nd verse:]
My honey dear, my honey dear
You better save up all your lovin'
Remember dear, remember dear
My heart'll be just like an oven
When my ship comes in
Honey, we'll begin
To make up for lost time
Don't forget
Pet
