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