By googling the songwriter?

 

by copying and pasting the lyrics into a google window, which of course reveals the songwriter. My lips are sealed however.

Got it!  Thank you!!  It was driving me crazy.

Okay, here's a pretty obscure one, but something tells me this group might know it!

 

Pretty lady, look at me, 
I'm a sailor from the sea.

I can take you anywhere,

You can join me if you dare.

 

And she said:  "Sailor, come with me.

Is it lonesome on the sea?"
(Humming because I can't remember the next two lines!)

 

Love is harder than a diamond

And as soft and pure as gold.

And as sweet as any secret

Any sailor ever told.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think I’ve heard it before, but may be way off base. 

Was it by Kinky Friedman or

Robert Earl Keen?
 

 

[aungrl]

Either one or both may have covered it, but it's originally written and sung by Kris Kristofferson.

"Andrea Gail," lost in the "Perfect Storm."

 

Speaking of which...anyone read the book? I've often thought about picking up a copy. Gets great reviews.

Fun! I’ll play:

All I need is the sea and the sky and I know where I stand
Instead of you hicks straight out of the sticks deciding I ain't a man.
You'll never understand.
Up here I'm a whisky bum but down there I'm a king.
Sounds just like the angels up in heaven when they sing...
welcome home, welcome home. Such a sight to see.
Instead of some Salvation Army sister singing "Nearer My God To Thee."

This song was on an old James Taylor album I owned from maybe back in the 70’s

i have no idea of the title. 

[Homosassa]

Had to go into the old memory files and the title finally dropped into my mind: "Captain Jim's Drunken Dream"

 

And that song reminded me of this song's chorus which, unfortunately, was a sometimes too accurate problem on those tiny tenders used when I first started cruising (and the condition of the passengers on my Carnival Cruise):

 

"And by chance found a bottle in my fist

And there I stood nicely passin' 'round the whiskey

But the passengers were bound to resist"
