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 me a letter He promised to write to me But I haven’t heard from my darling Who is sailing on the deep blue sea 
My mother is dead and buried My father’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’s the last you’ll see of me I’m going to end my troubles By drowning in the deep blue sea
