Sailor On The Sea

1. It was on one Sunday evening
Just about the hour of three
When my darlin’ started to leave me
To sail on the deep blue sea.

2. He promised to write me a letter,
He promised to write to me,
But I haven’t heard from my darlin’
who’s sailor on the deep blue sea.

3. My mother’s dead and buried,
My paw’s forsaken me,
And I have no one to love me
But the sailor on the deep blue sea.

4. “Oh Captain can you tell me,
can you tell me where he may be?”
“Oh yes, my little maiden,
he’s down in the deep blue sea.”

5. Farewell, friends and relation,
This the last you’ll see of me;
I’m goin’ to end my troubles
By drownin’ in the deep blue sea.
