lyrics

Just like any other day,
I was walking around.
Got to the river.
You won't believe what I found.
Little baby girls
floating out to the sound.
Guess that's where they go
and why there ain't none in town.

Hey, little girl, you're gonna travel the world.
Are you sailing little girls?
Hey, little girls, you're gonna travel the world.
Sailing little girls.

That's when I heard
a mama say to her girl,
"You should've been a boy.
Say goodbye to this world.
Sorry," she said
and then she set her afloat.
Don't be sorry, Mama.
I wish that I could go.

Hey, little girls, you're gonna travel the world.
You're a sailing little girls.
Hey, little girl, you're gonna travel the world.
A sailing little girl.

Life ain't fair.
Guess that's the way that it goes.
Where do they all end up?
I guess that only they know.
Maybe someday
I too will be able to roam.
For now I watch and wait
until the mothers go home.

They're saying to their girls,
"Say goodbye to this world."
They're sailing their little girls.
