Many nights I sit here
With memories by the score
Thinking of the days I spent
With the girl I still adore

So I'm goin' back to see her
Before my days are done
Goin' back to see her in the
Land of the sea and sun

Once I had a notion
'Bout this Bajin girl
I put my thoughts in motion
And found my heart in a whirl

So I'm goin' back to see her
Before my days are done
Goin' back to see her in the
Land of the sea and sun

Ever since I left her
Nothing's been the same
Think I'll pull up anchor, yes
Going back an' give her my name

Goin' back to see her
Before my days are done
Goin' back to see her in the
Land of the sea and sun

Yes, I'm goin' back to see her
Before my days are done
Goin' back to see her in the
Land of the sea and sun
