You are a sweetie, Susan.
My sister used to play it (piano); she had the sheet music and used to sing to it. Though she didn’t have a voice as strong as Petula Clarks. But listening to it again, there are phrases that stick. From Capri to Amsterdam …
I thank for the memory.

Reminds me of a song from the late 1950s, or was it early 1960s? My sister liked it, though she didn’t date a sailor.
Nice one.

No. Sailor, stop you roving, come home safely to me. That’s the only line I remember of it, and that’s probably misquoted
