It was on last Sunday evening just about the hour of three,
A D A E A
when my darling started to leave me, to sail on the deep blue sea.
A D A E
He promised to write a letter, he promised to write to me,
A D A E A
and I haven't heard from my darling, who sails on the deep blue sea.
A D A E
My mother is dead and buried, my papa's forsaken me,
A D A E A
and I have no one to love me, but the sailor on the deep blue sea.
A D A E
"Oh, captain, can you tell me, can you tell me where he may be?"
A D A E A
"Oh yes, my little maiden, he's drownded in the deep blue sea."
A D A E
Farewell to friends and relations, this is the last you'll see of me,
A D A E A
I'm going to end my troubles by drowning in the deep blue sea.
