Youve got yo wings on, mama
An you feel like flyin high
Youve got yo wings on, mama
An you feel like flyin high
If you sail away today
You will come back by and by
Evrything goes up
Have to come down sometime
Evrything goes up
Have to come down sometime
Youll come sailin back to me
When you cant get hold of a dime
You can flap yo wings
And sail just like a dove
You can flap yo wings, mama
And sail just like a dove
But you cant mistreat me
When I find the one I love
guitar instrumental
Sail on, sail on little girl, sail on
Sail on, sail on little girl, sail on
No need of sailin back to me
Cause youll find yo daddy gone
I didnt ask you to go
An I aint gon beg you to stay
I didnt ask you to go, mama
An I aint gon beg you to stay
You can stay if you want to
If you dont you can sail away.
