THE DEEP WIDE OCEAN BLUES
(Lee Morse)


Lee Morse - 1925



 
  
Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo

Just see that great big ship steamin' away
It makes me want to kneel right down and pray
That when she sails back home, she'll bring that man of mine
'Cause if she don't my achin' heart will always pine

I got the deep wide ocean blues
Because my daddy's on a cruise
He went away and left me flat
Before he left we had an awful spat
He's gonna sail the whole wide world
He'll just forget his lonesome girl
If things were fair I'd be in his shoes
I got the deep wide ocean blues

Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo

I got the deep wide ocean blues
Because my daddy's on a cruise
He went away and left me flat
Before he left we had an awful spat
He's gonna sail the whole wide world
Just forget his lonesome girl
If things were fair I'd be in his shoes
I got the deep wide ocean blues

Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo

I got the deep wide, ebb tide, sea sick, help quick
I got the deep wide ocean blues
