There's blues all in the ocean
There's blues all in the air
I can't stay no longe rhere
For I have no steamship fare
When my earthly trials are over
Carry my body out to the sea
Save on all the undertaker bills
Let the mermaids flirt with me
Oh I do not work for pleasure
Earthly peace, I'll see no more
Idle hands on a working man
Brings the devil to my door
When my earthly trials are over
Carry my body out to the sea
Save on all the undertaker bills
Let the mermaids flirt with me
Let the mermaids flirt with me
Let the mermaids flirt with me
Save on all the undertaker bills
Let the mermaids flirt with me
My wife controls our happy home
My darling, I cannot find
Now the only thing that I call my own
Is a troubled and a worried mind
When my earthly trials are over
Carry my body out to the sea
Save on all the undertaker bills
Let the mermaids flirt with me
There's blues all in my body
My darling has forsaken me
If I ever see her face again
I'd have to swim across the sea
When my earthly trials are over
Carry my body out to the sea
Save on all the undertaker bills
Let the mermaids flirt with me
Let the mermaids flirt with me
Let the mermaids flirt with me
Save on all the undertaker bills
Let the mermaids flirt with me
La da da, la da da
La da da, la da da
Let the mermaids flirt with me
Let the mermaids flirt with me
Save on all the undertaker bills
Let the mermaids flirt with me
Let the mermaids flirt with me
Let the mermaids flirt with me
Save on all the undertaker bills
Let the mermaids flirt with me
Save on all the undertaker bills
Let the mermaids flirt with me
Save on all the undertaker bills
Let the mermaids flirt with me
