Oh, the waves on the sea, how they roll
And those chilly winds, how they do blow
My own true love went down in the deep
And the ship never got to the sh-r-
Well the first on the deck
Was the captain of the ship
And a rough-looking sailor was he
He said: I care no more
For my wife and my child
Than I do for the fish in the sea
Well the second on board
Was a true man of God
Yes, a right reverend deacon was he
Said: I’ll forsake all the faith
That I’ve got in my soul
To be saved from that ragin’ sea.
Well the third on deck
Was my own true love
And a fine lookin’ woman was she
And I heard her cry
As the waves swept her by
Please save my baby and me
My own true love went down in the deep
And the ship never got to the sh-r-
