Letra de Father Neptune

[Verse 1]
When my man goes to sea
He steps so high and free
I think I know as I watch him go
That he has no need for me, for me
[Verse 2]
And when my man comes home
And waits a while to roam
I think I see as he smiles at me
That he’s dreaming of the foam, the foam
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m not a pious Christian
And I do not go to mass
But I pray to Father Neptune
To let him safely pass
[Chorus]
I sing to the god with the three-pronged rod
And the whiskers wild and free
But I’ve got a man with a beard and a tan
And a passion for the sea
[Bridge]
He rides through the foam and the cold and the warm
And he loves to risk his neck
And I like to know when he goes below
That it’s just below the deck
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, Neptune; Father Neptune!
I tell you fair and true
That if you should lose my sailor
I’ll sing no more to you
[Chorus]
When he’s home from sea he is half with me
And he’s gone when I close the door
And it’s still his creed that he has no need
For a wife except on shore
[Bridge]
I know it’s the boat that keeps him afloat
But I like to think it’s me
And if it were not for this
I would sink to the depths of the sea
