Madeline, oh, Madeline
See what I've brought you
Earrings made of sapphires
To match your eyes of blue
I can't accept your sapphires
They would only haunt me
Unless you say you'll stick around
And tell me that you want me
Madeline, oh, Madeline
See what I've brought you
A necklace made of shiny gold
To prove my love is true
I can't accept your shiny gold
It would only haunt me
Unless you say you'll stick around
And tell me that you want me
Madeline, oh, Madeline
I've made up my mind
I love you more than anything
I'll leave the sea behind
Sailorboy, oh, Sailorboy
I don't mean to taunt you
But I don't want you sticking 'round
Just wanted you to want to
See what I've brought you
Earrings made of sapphires
To match your eyes of blue
I can't accept your sapphires
They would only haunt me
Unless you say you'll stick around
And tell me that you want me
Madeline, oh, Madeline
See what I've brought you
A necklace made of shiny gold
To prove my love is true
I can't accept your shiny gold
It would only haunt me
Unless you say you'll stick around
And tell me that you want me
Madeline, oh, Madeline
I've made up my mind
I love you more than anything
I'll leave the sea behind
Sailorboy, oh, Sailorboy
I don't mean to taunt you
But I don't want you sticking 'round
Just wanted you to want to
