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 sailed the wide world over can't get her off my mind
Cindy oh Cindy Cindy don't let me down
Write me a letter soon and I'll be homeward bound

I see her face in every wave her lips kiss every breeze
Her loving arms reach out for me through calm and stormy seas
At night I pace the lonely deck caressed by memories
Cindy oh Cindy

I know my Cindy's waitin' as I walk the dock alone
Her loving arms reach out for me soon I'll be headin' home
Then my sailing days will be over and no more will I roam
Cindy oh Cindy girl
Cindy oh Cindy girl
