Drowned In The Deep Blue Sea Lyrics - Flatt And Scruggs

It was on one Sunday evening just above the air off tree 

When my darlin' started leave me to sail on the deep blue sea 

He promised to write me a letter he promised to write to me 

And I haven't heard from my darlin' who sails on the deep blue sea 

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 

Oh Captain can you tell me can you tell me where he may be 

Oh yes, my little maiden he got drowned in the deep blue sea 

Farewell to friends and relations it's the last you'll see of me 

I am going to end my trouble by drowning in the deep blue sea
