Tracy Chapman - I Used To Be A Sailor Lyrics

Timeless Tracy... this soul sails forever

not only can she sing great she is beautiful

Awesome song, deep meaning...as how our souls are encapsulated in a body, as prior to here & now in space & time with motion...beyond all symbols we flew & so shall again. Have loved Tracy since i first heard her music.

They Has Better Play This When I Am Dead*

Happy birdhay too you traaaaaaaaaaaaaaaacy Chapman pour tes 55 ans 🎂🎂🎂🙏🎈

For me music is art, creativity and emotion. And this song is all about that.
What an artist...this song gives me goosebumps. I bought last week 4 other cd's from her and they all are good. This artist is a must have.
When I hear Tracey sing my imagination comes alive.

what a beautiful soul. i think iam in love although i know shes lesbian. maybe i should become a woman

Still playing in 2019🙌🙌🙌❤

she is an inspiration comfort and beautie

Tracy Chapman is a masterful singer/songwriter of the blues. The creative individual responsible for putting together this video did an exquisite job and I thank you.

Only an ex sailor will understand.

I love the music Tracy Chapman

This is one of Tracy's best songs...I really wish music would make a comeback...I miss songs with meaning.

Meghan Chavalier True, I remember when music first starting loosing its soul other than gangster music, corruption, one night stands and the rest of the nonsense that was being broadcasted around 2005 or so I would say was when the turn came in music when artist became more reliant on the technics rather than delivering a good song through powerful lyrics-hopefully some day or makes a comeback 👍

Denis Healy I am glad for find you and the piece of you.

This is why I listen to old songs, 80s are the best music ever,,

kept me going through the heady times of college...........

I used to listen to this song a lot in the service.

@Eddie L Thomas Did you Tommo?

What were you on

@bevsfan a guided missile cruiser.

bevsfan1 year agoWhat were you on? Drugs wise Ed.

I have a question about the lyrics: is it in not "I sit and ROCK behind these padded walls" not ROT?
and
do you know who made the album art for this song? Its beautiful!

+Jessica Ballantyne it is ROT, not ROCK.

I wish her music would get more play time on the radio. I want to hear more from her catalog of music.Love her music

try iTunes if you like
