| G | C | |
| It was | on one summer's | evening, |
| G | D7 | |
| Just a | bout the hour | of three, |
| G | C | |
| When my da | rling started t | o leave me, |
| G | D7 | G | |
| For to | sail upon t | he deep b | lue sea. |
Oh, he promised to write me a letter,
He said he'd write to me;
But I've not heard from my darling
Who is sailing on the deep blue sea.
Oh, my mother's dead and buried,
My pa's forsaken me,
And I have no one for to love me
But the sailor on the deep blue sea.
Oh captain, can you tell me
Where can my sailor be;
Oh yes, my little maiden,
He is drownded in the deep blue sea.
Farewell to friends and relations,
It's the last you'll see of me;
For I'm going to end my troubles
By drowning in the deep blue sea.
