I went down to the harbour
To see the boat from Galilee
There she stood afloat in the brilliance of the sea
Sail on

Sail on the water, sail on
Sail on the sea, sail on by
Sail on the water, sail on
Sail on the sea, sail on by

The sunset in the distance
Aas she anchors in the bay
We all rowed out to greet her
To see just how she lay
Sail on

Sail on the water, sail on
Sail on the sea, sail on by
Sail on the water, sail on
Sail on the sea, sail on by

Sail on the water, sail on
Sail on the sea, sail on by

Sail on the water, sail on
Sail on the sea, sail on by
Sail on the water, sail on
Sail on the sea, sail on by

Sail on the water, sail on
Sail on the sea, sail on by

Never seen so many people
They all seem friends of mine
There's never any violence
Never any crime
Everyone's so busy having such a good time
Sail on, sail on, sail on, sail on
Sail on

Sail on the water, sail on
Sail on the sea, sail on by
Sail on the water
Sail on the sea
Sail on the water
Sail on the sea
