Connie Converse - Father neptune

When ^Emy man goes to ^B7/Esea He ^Esteps so high and ^B7/Efree I ^Ethink I know as I ^B7/Ewatch him go that he ^Ehas no need for ^B7/Eme For ^Eme ^{B7/E E B7/E}

And ^Ewhen my man comes ^B7/Ehome And ^Ewaits a while to ^B7/Eroam I ^Ethink I see when he ^B7/Esmiles at me that he's ^Edreaming of the ^B7/Efoam The ^Efoam ^{B7/E E B7/E}

I'm ^A7not a pious ^DChristian I ^A7do not go to ^Dmass But I ^Gpray to ^CFather ^GNeptune To ^Amlet him safely ^Epass

^B7I.... ^Esing to the God with the ^B7/Ethree-pronged rod And the ^Ewhiskers wild and ^A7free That ^EI've got a man with a ^B7/Ebeard and tan And a ^A7passion for the ^Esea

^EHe rides through the ^B7/Estorm, and the ^Ecold and the ^B7/Ewarm And he ^Eloves to risk his ^A7neck And I ^Elike to ^B7/Eknow when he ^Egoes be^B7/Elow That it's ^Ejust be^B7/Elow the ^Edeck

Oh ^A7Neptune, Father ^DNeptune I ^A7tell you fair and ^Dtrue That if ^Gyou should ^Close my ^Gsailor I'll ^Amsing no more to ^Eyou

^B7When he's ^Ehome from sea he is ^B7/Ehalf with me And he's ^Egone when I close the ^A7door And it's ^Estill his creed that he ^B7/Ehas no need For a ^A7wife except ^Eonshore

I ^Eknow it's a ^B7/Eboat that ^Ekeeps him a^B7/Efloat But I ^Elike to think it's ^A7me And ^Eif it were not for thi^D7add9s I would ^C7add9sink to the d^B7add9epths of the ^Esea^{B7/E E B7/E E}
