Deep Blue Sea Track

(Chapin / Trad. / arranged C.Strøm)

He wasted and pined till o'er his brow
Death's shadows are slowly gathering now
Well he thought of his home and his loved one's neigh
As the sailors gathered to see him die

"Oh bury me not in the deep blue sea
Where the billowy shroud will roll over me
Where no light break through the dark cold wave
And no sunbeam rest upon my grave"

"I've always wished to be lain when I die
In a little church yard on the green hillside
By my father's grave; there let mine be
Oh bury me not in the deep blue sea"

"Oh give me then a mother's prayer
And a sister's tear might mingle there
Where my friends can come and weep for me
Oh bury me not in the deep blue sea

"Oh bury me not in the deep blue sea
Where the billowy shroud will roll over me
Where no light breaks through the dark cold wave
And the sunbeam never rest upon my grave"
