There's gonna be smooth sailin' from now on
Cause my cheatin' baby's gone
Diamond rings I can't afford so I threw her overboard
There's gonna be smooth sailin' from now on

Well I've satisfied my hanker I got somebody new
Where I could loose my anchor I saw the last of you

There's gonna be smooth sailin' from now on
Cause my cheatin' baby's gone
Maybe I'll have peace of mind cause I know just what I'll find
Smooth sailin' from now on

[ fiddle - guitar ]
I got me a new baby all my own
And I'll never sail my ship alone
From her head to her feet she's got all those others beat
Smooth sailin' from now on

I'll be the skipper and we'll have a little crew
She and I and kisses and oh yes Mr Moon

There's gonna be smooth sailin' from now on
Cause my cheatin' baby's gone
Maybe I'll have peace of mind cause I know I'll find
Smooth sailin' from now on
