Blues all on the ocean, blues all in the air.
Can't stay here no longer, I have no steamship fare.
When my earthly trials are over, carry my body out in
the sea.
Save all the undertaker bills, let the mermaids flirt
with me.
I do not work for pleasure, earthly peace I'll see no
more.
The only reason I work at all, is drive the wolf away
from
my door.
When my earthly trials are over, carry my body out in
the sea.
Save all the undertaker bills, let the mermaids flirt
with me.
My wife controls our happy home, a sweetheart I can not
find.
The only thing I can call my own, is a troubled and a
worried mind.
When my earthly trials are over, carry my body out in
the sea.
Save all the undertaker bills, let the mermaids flirt
with me.
Blues all in my body, my darling has forsaken me.
If I ever see her face again, I have to swim across the
sea.
When my earthly trials are over, carry my body out in
the sea.
Save all the undertaker bills, let the mermaids flirt
with me.
Blues all on the ocean, blues all in the air.
Can't stay here no longer, I have no steamship fare.
When my earthly trials are over, carry my body out in
the sea.
Save all the undertaker bills, let the mermaids flirt
with me
