"Daddy Was a Sailor" is a song by Marina on her debut extended play, Mermaid vs Sailor.
Lyrics
Granpa was a miner and he gave me my black art
Glittered rivers of black coal-dust tore our country apart
Covered in coal-dust, wakin' up too early in the morning
Covered in coal-dust, waitin' for the moment the canary sings
Mama was a mermaid and a Carnaby Street gal
She could've been a model but she spent
Her life moppin' up spilt milk
Covered in sea salt, could he would he be home
When the stars came out to party
Covered in sea salt, yeah I know it was my fault
But he always ran away 'cause he didn't want me
Oh daddy was a sailor and he gave me my black heart
Daddy was a sailor, the only man that could tear me apart
Daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy
Sister dances salsa and she cha-cha's like a queen
I was a non-believer when she told me I was free
Auntie Emmy was a medium, oh she worked the Ouija board
Seekin' out the lost souls, takin' them back to the Lord
Oh but daddy still was a sailor and he gave me a black heart
Daddy was a sailor, the only man that could tear me apart
Oh daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy
Daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh ah
