You've got yo' wings on, mama
An you feel like flyin' high
You've got yo' wings on, mama
An you feel like flyin' high
If you sail away today
You will come back by and by

Ev'rything goes up
Have to come down sometime
Ev'rything goes up
Have to come down sometime
You'll come sailin' back to me
When you can't 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 can't 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 you'll find yo' daddy gone

I didn't ask you to go
An I ain't gon' beg you to stay
I didn't ask you to go, mama
An I ain't gon' beg you to stay
You can stay if you want to
If you don't you can sail away.
