I'm sailing out on the ocean

Out on the deep blue sea

If I get shot or drownded

No-one to grieve for me

Yes, I got a letter from mama

Yes, I got a letter from Spain

I got a letter from mama

She told me to come home again

I'm sailing out on the ocean

Out on the deep blue sea

If I get shot or drownded

No-one to grieve for me

It's once I had a fortune I laid it in my trunk

I lost it all a-gambling last night while I drunk

Oh son don't gamble

Oh darling don't gamble no more

For the times your mama told you

She's taught you like a son

That drinking and gambling would finally be your earn (end? urn?)

I'm sailing out on the ocean

Out on the deep blue sea

If I get shot or drownded

No-one to grieve for me

I've played cards in England

Got drunk in Spain

I'm going back to England to play them cards again

Oh son don't gamble

Oh darling don't gamble no more

For the times your mama told you She's taught you like a son

That drinking and gambling would finally be your earn (end? urn?)

I'm sailing out on the ocean

Out on the deep blue sea

If I get shot or drownded

No-one to grieve for me

Some folks say courting is pleasure

What pleasure do I see

The only girl I ever loved

She's turned her back on me

I'm sailing out on the ocean

I'm sailing very high

If I get shot or drownded
