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, ohh, 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, ohh, Cindy, Cindy don't let me down
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, ohh, Cindy, Cindy don't let me down
Cindy, ohh, Cindy, Cindy don't let me down
