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 world 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
