I joined the Navy to see the world
But nowhere could I find
a girl as sweet as Cindy,
the girl I left behind
I've searched the wide world over,
can't get her out of my mind.
(Chorus:)
Cindy, oh Cindy
Cindy don't let me down
Write me a letter, dear,
and I'll be homeward bound.
I see her face in every wave
Her lips kiss every breeze
Her loving arms reach out to me
through calm and stormy sea
At night I face the lonely day,
caressed by memories.
Chorus
I know my Cindy's waiting for me,
as I walk the decks alone
Her loving arms reach out to me,
soon I'll be heading home
Then my sailing days will be over
No more will I roam.
Chorus
