Let the Mermaids Flirt with Me

Blues all on the ocean
Blues all in the air
Can’t stay here no longer
I have no steamship fare
When my earthly trials are over
Carry my body out in the sea
Save all the undertaker bills
Let the mermaids flirt with me
I do not work for pleasure
Earthly peace I’ll see no more
The only reason I work at all
Is to drive the world from my door
My wife controls our happy home
A sweetheart I can not find
The only thing I can call my own
Is a troubled and a worried mind
Blues all in my body
My darling has forsaken me
If I ever see her face again
I have to swim across the sea
Blues all on the ocean
Blues all in the air
Can’t stay here no longer
I have no steamship fare
