| Well, I went to see my baby
|
| She said stay away from me
|
| 'Cause I’m a hot wire
|
| And you’re a flat tire
|
| And I’m a-lettin' you go, you see
|
| (Chorus)
|
| And now, I’m gone
|
| You can look for me Down by the ocean
|
| Cryin' in the deep blue sea
|
| Well, I never thought my baby
|
| Would ever say goodbye
|
| That goes to show
|
| That a man don’t know
|
| Just how the cards can lie
|
| (Repeat Chorus)
|
| She left me here to weep and moan
|
| Nothin' but the doggone blues
|
| I’ve made my bid
|
| But she flipped her lid
|
| And now I’ve got the walkin' shoes
|
| (Repeat Chorus, «so"instead of «now»)
|
| Well, the tears I shed this mornin'
|
| And the tears I shed last night
|
| I cried, by gosh
|
| But it just can’t wash
|
| My baby from my sight
|
| (Repeat Chorus)
|
| When I looked out on the ocean
|
| Lord, it was deep and wide
|
| Well, my baby’s gone
|
| And I can’t go on So I hung my little head and cried
|
| (Repeat Chorus)
|
| Where?
|
| Down by the ocean
|
| Cryin' in the deep blue sea |
