Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Sail Away Sweet Sister. By Songfacts®.

Subtitled "To The Sister I Never Had," this song finds a young lady coming of age and leaving the nest. It's not clear if the song is written from the perspective of a lover or a relative.

Queen guitarist Brian May wrote this, and though he usually played piano on his own songs, this time he asked Freddie Mercury do record it because of his perfect timing and rhythm sense. Mercury sings the middle eight of the song as well, while Brian sings the verses and choruses.
