There to serve his country
Walks to the dock every morning
Waits for the ships to come in
On the letter he's mailing home
Be back in her arms again
Instead of feelin' like a ship in a bottle,
tryin' to get out, sail away
Like a ship in a bottle, tryin' to get out,
And she was an entertainer
Montgomery in the holidays
Went with her every night to her room
Slept on the pillow beside her
thinking about her sailor
Nine months away across the waters in
Feeling like a ship in a bottle
Trying to get out and sail away
Tryin' to get out and sail away
Someday they're gonna be together
One day they won't be oceans apart
Everyday seems like forever
You ought to be with the one you love
Lies on a blanket with his new bride
As the southern sun is sinking on the
Sealed in an empty champagne bottle
No content in both of their names
Sent for a ride on the evening tide
