Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause my steady boy said "Ship ahoy"
And joined the Nay-ee-ay-vee
He said he wanted to settle down
And let me be his girl
But first he had to do a little travelin' around
And see the whole wide world
That's why I'm
Blue, navy blue, I'm as blue as I can be
'Cause my steady boy said "Ship ahoy"
And joined the Nay-ee-ay-vee
I got a letter yesterday from Tokyo
And a souvenir
A walky-talky wind-up little China doll
That says "Wish you were here"
Blue, navy blue, I'm as blue as I can be
'Cause my steady boy said "Ship ahoy"
And joined the Nay-ee-ay-vee
He's comin' home to see me on a weekend pass
A forty-eight hour day-ate
That boat he's sailin' on just better get here fast
'Cause I can hardly wait
Till then I'm
Blue, navy blue, I'm as blue as I can be
'Cause my steady boy said "Ship ahoy"
And joined the Nay-ee-ay-vee
Ah-ahhhhhh
"Blue, navy blue, I'm as blue as I can be"
Ah-ahhhhhh
The song "Navy Blue" by Diane Renay talks about a girl whose boyfriend has joined the navy and left her feeling blue. She narrates her story of how her steady boy wanted to settle down with her, but first, he had to travel around the world with the navy. She expresses her sadness since she loves him, and now she has to wait for him to come back. She receives a letter from him from Tokyo, along with a souvenir, which makes her even more upset, wishing that he were with her. She is excited to see him on a weekend pass. However, as she waits for him, she is still feeling overwhelmingly blue.
The lyrics paint a picture of longing and sadness, as the girl in the song misses her love, who is away serving his country. She describes the phone she received from him as a 'walky-talky wind-up little China doll.' The song was written during the 1960s, a time of great patriotism, and it portrays the sacrifices made by military families. The song has long been a classic and remains a hit among music lovers even today.

懐かしい・・・・・・・・この曲が流れていた頃、セーラー服を着ていて護衛艦に乗組んでいた時だった。雨降る、ある都市の駅前のバス停で(レインコートを着て)傘も差さずぼんやりバスを待っていると、雨に掛らない事に気付き空を見ると傘が差してあり、えっ！と思い横を見ると同世代の女性が黙って立っていた。周囲から見ると相合傘状態・・・・・・・で、バスが来るまで自分が傘を持って待った。(自衛官は雨が降っても傘を差せない、差して貰うのはＯＫ)バスに乗り話の中でこの町の港に入港していて明日出港すると言ったら、な なんと見送りに来てくれた。出港まで艦内を案内し、住所の交換をした後に出港となり艦橋の中から彼女だけに手を振り別れを告げた。(電信員で出入港時には艦橋で無線電話を担当していた)その後、その女性はどうなったのか・・・・・・・・６５歳過ぎたが今でも私の横で寝起きしている。 / ^g^ 敬礼

さきほどラジオで九重佑三子さんが歌う「ネイビー・ブルー」を
聴き、この冒頭の「ブルー 、ネイビーブルー」というメロディーを
子供の頃とても好きだったのを思い出しました。
ただ、忘れていたことも事実で、ラジオに思い出させてもらって
本当に嬉しいです。そもそも曲名も知らなかったのですが、
「ネイビー・ブルー」という曲だったんですね。
また一つ、忘れていた好きな歌が増えて嬉しいです。
