VERSE1
DSailor Sally Awas her name 
GWorkin for the DPub-Marine 
DFish and chips and Ggasoline
Dsmelled on her Aginger Dhair
DOn high heels, so Astumblin’
GCrooned a song of a Dsubmarine
DTook a cigarette, Gspilled a gin
DHer tongue cuted Alike a Dknife
WAMP
VERSE2 (same like verse1)
Young, only 17
Breast were big but she was thin
Her white skin so freckled
Made the captain nuts on her
She married for a diamond ring
Noone knows what else he think
Coz everybody knows she loves 
joshing all the cocks
WAMP
DI go on with the story of Gour fallin Dstar
DShe sailed by a ship with the Gcaptain on her Aside
GLonged for the Dnew world a Abeautiful Bmfuture
GBeing so Dfamous was Ameaning of her Dlife
GShe’d have done that Dfavour, but Anobody Bmasked her
GShe has been left Dalone by the Acaptain in a Dbar
DSally – go Gaway
DSally – sail Aaway
DSally – donGt look back
DWhatcha Awaiting Dfor

VERSE3 (same like Verse1 and 2)
She came home on valentine’s
Closed out from the „paradise”
In the chill, looked like a bride
Who’s married with the dark
She was tired of the same
But never want to sail again
Gets her real job on the knees
And Moaning on the floor
