Cindy, O Cindy

Cat. #1120 (MFH #778) - As sung by Ollie Gilbert, Mountain View, Arkansas on April 9, 1970

VERSE 1
Cindy, O Cindy, don't let me down
Write me a letter soon, I'll be homeward bound
I joined th Navy just to see if I could find a girl
As sweet as Cindy, the girl I left behind

VERSE 2
I h've sailed the wide world over
An' cain't keep 'er out'a my mind
I see her face in every wave
Cindy, the girl o'mine

VERSE 3
Cindy, O Cindy, don't let me down
Write me a letter soon, I'll be homeward bound
I know my Cindy's waiting as I walk th deck alone
Her lovin' arms reach out for me
Soon I'll be coming home

VERSE 4
Then my sailin' days will be over
An' no more will I raom
Cindy, O Cindy, I'm comin' home
Cindy, O Cindy, don't let me down
Write me a letter soon, n' I'll be homeward bound
