A D A E It was on last Sunday evening just about the hour of three, A D A E A when my darling started to leave me, to sail on the deep blue sea. A D A E He promised to write a letter, he promised to write to me, A D A E A and I haven't heard from my darling, who sails on the deep blue sea. A D A E My mother is dead and buried, my papa’s forsaken me, A D A E A and I have no one to love me, but the sailor on the deep blue sea. A D A E "Oh, captain, can you tell me, can you tell me where he may be?" A D A E A "Oh yes, my little maiden, he’s drownded in the deep blue sea." A D A E Farewell to friends and relations, this is the last you'll see of me, A D A E A I'm going to end my troubles by drowning in the deep blue sea.
