I sailed an ocean, unsettled ocean
Through restful waters and deep commotion
Often frightened, unenlightened
Sail on, sail on sailor
I wrest the waters, fight Neptune's waters
Sail through the sorrows of life's marauders
Unrepenting, often empty
Sail on, sail on sailor
Caught like a sewer rat alone but I sail
Bought like a crust of bread, but oh do I wail
Seldom stumble, never crumble
Try to tumble, life's a rumble
Feel the stinging I've been given
Never ending, unrelenting
Heartbreak searing, always fearing
Never caring, persevering
Sail on, sail on, sailor
I work the seaways, the gale-swept seaways
Past shipwrecked daughters of wicked waters
Uninspired, drenched and tired
Wail on, wail on, sailor
Always needing, even bleeding
Never feeding all my feelings
Damn the thunder, must I blunder
There's no wonder all I'm under
Stop the crying and the lying
And the sighing and my dying
Sail on, sail on sailor
Sail on, sail on sailor
Sail on, sail on sailor
Sail on, sail on sailor
Sail on, sail on sailor
Sail on, sail on sailor
Sail on, sail on sailor
Through restful waters and deep commotion
Often frightened, unenlightened
Sail on, sail on sailor
I wrest the waters, fight Neptune's waters
Sail through the sorrows of life's marauders
Unrepenting, often empty
Sail on, sail on sailor
Caught like a sewer rat alone but I sail
Bought like a crust of bread, but oh do I wail
Seldom stumble, never crumble
Try to tumble, life's a rumble
Feel the stinging I've been given
Never ending, unrelenting
Heartbreak searing, always fearing
Never caring, persevering
Sail on, sail on, sailor
I work the seaways, the gale-swept seaways
Past shipwrecked daughters of wicked waters
Uninspired, drenched and tired
Wail on, wail on, sailor
Always needing, even bleeding
Never feeding all my feelings
Damn the thunder, must I blunder
There's no wonder all I'm under
Stop the crying and the lying
And the sighing and my dying
Sail on, sail on sailor
Sail on, sail on sailor
Sail on, sail on sailor
Sail on, sail on sailor
Sail on, sail on sailor
Sail on, sail on sailor
Sail on, sail on sailor

Why was I thinking this is Steely Dan?

Great tune.
Oh what a song. So Funky Pretty. Recorded on a barge studio in Amsterdam. Can almost smell the smoke coming from the port holes. And that simple drum lope. I've played my own drums along with this song a thousand times. Take a look at the cover of the album. Turned the Beach Boys completely upside down..... So simple. So much groove.

This song is fantastic and sends me crazy every time I hear it.
in this sleepy streaming age, I love it when a song makes you stop and look up what it is. Makes us long for the days we'd run to the record store to find where that sound/music was coming from 💨💥✨

Looks like I'm one of many that thought this was some other artist. All these years it sounded to me like a Boz Scaggs tune.
Haven't heard this in many years! Great tune! Sail on sailor is my mantra for the week (as in, keep going baby)
It is their most obscure songs that are the most genius
Brian Wilson Rocks!
Wilson for City Commissioner!

Yep, I'm another one that didn't know this was the Beach Boys. I always thought it was Stevie Wonder. Great song, btw.
The wife and I saw them live in Santa Monica when they were touring for this album. The show was amazing. Brian is "The Man". Watch the movie with Paul Dano/John Cusak. 
Brian Wilson is a genius
Supergreat!! Even better in FLAC w/ great studio phones, amp & DAC! Thank You RP!

I rated this a '4' initially. Not sure why — it brings up some happy childhood memories, and I really had no idea it was The Beach Boys until I'd heard it on RP! Moved up to a more respectable 7.

Similar experience, though the audience was full of drunk frat and sorority brothers and sisters yelling out for surf music. It was sad all the way around.

Probably my favourite Beach Boys song. It gets a 9 from me 
Huh. I thought this was by Traffic.
I play this tune every time I sail out of Annapolis harbor. In spite of the lyrics I find it totally inspiring. Co-written by Brian Wilson and Van Dyke Parks.
I had the very good fortune of hearing it performed live during Brian Wilson's tour a few years ago sung by the original lead vocalist Blondie Chaplin who was touring with him.

I worked their concert at University of Virginia back about when this came out. They were trying hard to leave their 'surf' days behind, but this was UVA which was (is) a heavy frat oriented college and everyone only wanted to hear the old stuff. Lots of frustration on the stage and in the audience. Despite that we did hear some good music from both eras that evening.
My usual knee-jerk reaction is to give anything by The Beach Boys an automatic 1, this is different, it does not sound like usual Beach Boys crap, I’ll give this one a 5
Try Surfs Up.
I admit it's catchy in that horrifyingly bad mid seventies kinda way. But I'm pretty sure it's only on here to surprise people who sang it. There are 50 better songs by The Beach Boys. At least.
I've always liked this song but never knew who sang it. Ha. Thanks RP.
only BB song I like. If they only sang on-key!
Not really a Beach Boys fan, but this little number really gives me the feels for some reason. Probably a "Rosebud" effect from my youth.

There's many more songs they did that aren't "Surf" music .
One just needs to listen to this album and "Surf's Up" to hear some real gems.
Hey. I agreed with ThePoose!
See people... all you need to do is give Poose a chance!
You evidently never heard them do I can hear music. Listen on, listener.

Love this song. I saw Brian Wilson do this about a year ago, and they featured Blondie Chapman on guitar and vocals on this song, just like on the original. He was quite the character, jumping around like a nut, and looking like he might be sailing three sheets to the wind, sailor!
Bumped from 8 to 9!
Love this song big time
Great song. Didn't even know it was The BB.
Among all their great and famous songs, this is an overlooked gem.

Cool stoney tune by them! So different and much liked; among their best I think. What a great year in music, '73! Elton's Yellow Brick Road, Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon, Steely Dan's Countdown to Ecstasy, Lennon's Mind Games, McCartney's Band on the Run

My favorite Beach Boys Music (with the exception of Pet Sounds) is from the Brothers Albums. Tuneful, great harmonies and often ingenious.
Saw Brian and Al doing Pet Sounds live in New Orleans a few years ago. Blondie Chaplin was there - at times walking around the stage and standing in front of both Brian & Al while they were singing.
I was very unimpressed with someone who couldn't control himself and show some respect.

For what it's worth, back when this album was released Rolling Stone rated this as one of the five best albums of the year.

Ya know...RP could play a few songs from the Pet Sounds album. That was their best album and quite progressive. It has song trippy songs. I guess LSD from Southern Cal will do that.
A few years ago I went with a friend to see Los Lobos on their 40th Anniversary Tour, and they had several special guests including Blondie Chaplin and Taj Mahal. As soon as I heard Blondie was going to be there I thought, wouldn't it be awesome if they played Sail On Sailor? Sure enough, they did. Man, that was a good show.

I'm late to the "I didn't know this was the Beach Boys" party. I thought this was Joe Jackson.
From the very underrated album Holland. https://www.allmusic.com/album/holland-mw0000690537
Some great songs on that album, Big Sur Saga and The Trader in-particular.

This is nice. Pet Sounds too. However, it is their love songs to Hot Rods I've always loved the best.

All this time, I never realized this was a Beach Boys song. It sounds so different to me than stuff like Barbara Ann or California Girls. More 70s...

I see the link from the Gordon Lightfoot Wreck to this song, but the transition is so jarring that it cannot work. Is it acceptable to simply acknowledge that, despite the apparent love affair between many/most Americans with the Beach Boys, one does not really like them? I recognize that it's just me, so I will sign off.
Great track, but from Holland, not Carl and the Passions.
From my favorite Beach Boys albums - the Brother Records era which produced so many wonderful, yet unknown BB songs that sound so different than the earlier well know recordings (which I also like).
Favorite BB song. Recommend you watch the movie Love and Mercy about Brian Wilson.
i love this.
if robert palmer was next, i'd love that. sailin shoes.

A bit commercial for the BBs but like it, who'd have thunk this was the BBs?
One of the three BB tunes I can stomach...

Beach Boys?! Learned my 'something new' for today. Humbling really, since a skipper played this as departure music for every single sailboat race one season. Got sick of it after 5 or 6 races, then started digging it when I really listened to its purity of melody and lyric.

Kinda funny watching Blondie Chaplin singing backup and cavorting with Keith and the Stones knowing he sang lead on this wonderful tune.

I bought this album in 73' and still have it, still play it and still love it.
The album also came with a small 45 sized EP called "Mount Vernon and Fairway"
which is a curious piece of work. Never was quite sure what to make of that...

This song could possibly be compared to Chicago's "Wishing You Were Here", on which the Beach Boys sing background vocals.

This is indeed Blondie Chaplin. He took the vocal after Carl couldn't nail it… More about how the song came to be here…

I'm waiting for just one Monkee's song in memory of Davy Jones...
This can be seen as allegorical. The metaphor isn't original but the structure is unique. A great song because it touches themes that are universal.
Sunshine, rainbow, island in the sun, sail on... Mmmm whats the theme Bill?

I saw one of Rick Danko's many post-Band bands long ago. Chaplin played guitar, and sang their rendition of "Sail On Sailor." Sure sounded like the same voice as that on the Beach Boys' recording. Guess that's not print either. Sigh.
