John DeLee by Margaret Lewis Lyrics

[Chorus]
Sing-la-lee-day
Sing-la-lee-day-dee-day-dee
Sing-la-lee-day
Honey, I'm a-comin' home

[Verse 1]
John DeLee, I love you
John DeLee, I do
Never thought I'd miss you
'Til I sailed away from you

[Verse 2]
Had a mind to ramble
Had a mind to roam
But I've seen all I want to see
And now I'm a-comin' home

[Chorus]
Oh, sing-la-lee-day
Sing-la-lee-day-dee-day-dee
Sing-la-lee-day
Honey, I'm a-comin' home
Honey, I'm a-comin' home
[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
I've seen the brown-eyed handsome men
And the land across the sea
But ev'rywhere I walked there
I still think of John DeLee

[Verse 4]
I'm leavin' in the mornin'
Sailin' with the tide
When I get home no more to roam
I'll be his blushin' bride

[Chorus]
Oh, sing-la-lee-day
Sing-la-lee-day-dee-day-dee
Sing-la-lee-day
Honey, I'm a-comin' home

Yeah, sing-la-lee-day
Sing-la-lee-day-dee-day-dee
Sing-la-lee-day
Honey, I'm a-comin' home

Well I said, sing-la-lee-day
Sing-la-lee-day-dee-day-dee
Sing-la-lee-day
Honey, I'm a-comin' home
[Outro]
Honey, I'm a-comin' home
Honey, I'm a-comin' home
