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 |
