First verse:
C G C F C Blues all on the ocean, blues all in the air; F C D G Can't stay here no longer, I have no steamship fare. C G C F C When my earthly trials are over, cast my body out in the sea; F C G C Save on the undertaker bill - let the mermaids flirt with me!
Second verse:
C G C F C I do not work for pleasure; earthly peace I'll see no more; F C D G The only reason I work at all is to drive the wolf from my door. C G C F C When my earthly trials are over, cast my body out in the sea; F C G C Save on the undertaker bill - let the mermaids flirt with me!
Third verse:
C G C F C My wife controls our happy home; my sweetheart I cannot find. F C D G The only thing I can call my own is a troubled and a worried mind. C G C F C When my earthly trials are over, cast my body out in the sea; F C G C Save on the undertaker bill - let the mermaids flirt with me!
Fourth verse:
C G C F C Blues all in my body; my darlin' has forsaken me. F C D G If I ever see her face again, have to travel 'cross the sea. C G C F C When my earthly trials are over, cast my body out in the sea; F C G C Save on the undertaker bill - let the mermaids flirt with me!
Fifth verse, the same as first:
C G C F C Blues all on the ocean, blues all in the air; F C D G Can't stay here no longer, I have no steamship fare. C G C F C When my earthly trials are over, cast my body out in the sea; F C G C Save on the undertaker bill - let the mermaids flirt with me!
