Cryin' In The Deep Blue Sea Lyrics - Hank Thompson

CRYIN' IN THE DEEP BLUE SEA 

Writer Hank Thompson 

Well, I went to see my baby 

She said stay away from me 

'Cause I'm a hot wire 

And you're a flat tire 

And I'm a-lettin' you go, you see 

(Chorus) 

And now, I'm gone 

You can look for me 

Down by the ocean 

Cryin' in the deep blue sea 

Well, I never thought my baby 

Would ever say goodbye 

That goes to show 

That a man don't know 

Just how the cards can lie 

(Repeat Chorus) 

She left me here to weep and moan 

Nothin' but the doggone blues 

I've made my bid 

But she flipped her lid 

And now I've got the walkin' shoes 

(Repeat Chorus, "so" instead of "now") 

Well, the tears I shed this mornin' 

And the tears I shed last night 

I cried, by gosh 

But it just can't wash 

My baby from my sight 

(Repeat Chorus) 

When I looked out on the ocean 

Lord, it was deep and wide 

Well, my baby's gone 

And I can't go on 

So I hung my little head and cried 

(Repeat Chorus) 

Where? 

Down by the ocean 

Cryin' in the deep blue sea
