It was on last Sunday evening
Just about the hour of three
When my darling started leaving
To sail on that deep blue sea
 [bad word] break]
He promised to write a letter
He promised to write to me
And I haven't heard from my darling
Who sails on that deep blue sea
 [bad word] break]
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
 [bad word] break]
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
 [bad word] break]
Farewell to friends and relations
It's the last you'll see of me
I'm going to end my trouble
By drowning in the deep blue sea
