American Old Time Song Lyrics: 27 Down By The Deep, Sad Sea

Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 27

DOWN BY THE DEEP, SAD SEA.

Down by the deep, sad sea,
Down where the seagulls roam,
I wander on the rock-bound shore.
Where stood my boyhood's home;
But years have changed those happy scenes
That once were dear to me.
For all I loved in life now sleep
Down by the deep, sad sea.

Chorus.
Oh, the sea, the sad, sad sea-
The sea, the deep, blue sea;
I'd give the world to live again
Down by the deep, sad sea.

Down by the deep, sad sea
The evening shades draw nigh;
I gaze upon its bosom soft
With sad and tearful eye;
And mem'ry takes its wayward flight
To scenes that use to be.
And leaves me sitting lone .and sad
Down by the deep, sad sea.-Chors.
