^CBlues all on the ocean ^Fblues all in the ^Cair. ^FCan't stay here no ^Clonger I ^D7have no steamship ^Gfare. When my ^Cearthly trials are over carry my ^Fbody out in the ^Csea. ^FSave all the ^Cundertaker bills let the ^Cmermaids ^Gflirt with ^Cme.

^CI do not work for pleasure earthly ^Fpeace I'll see no ^Cmore. ^FThe only reason I ^Cwork at all is ^D7drive the world from my ^Gdoor. When my ^Cearthly trials are over carry my ^Fbody out in the ^Csea. ^FSave all the ^Cundertaker bills let the ^Cmermaids ^Gflirt with ^Cme.

^CMy wife controls our happy home a ^Fsweetheart I can not ^Cfind. ^FThe only thing I can ^Ccall my own is a ^Dtroubled and a worried ^Gmind. When my ^Cearthly trials are over carry my ^Fbody out in the ^Csea. ^FSave all the ^Cundertaker bills let the ^Cmermaids ^Gflirt with ^Cme.

^CBlues all in my body my ^Fdarling has forsaken ^Cme. ^FIf I ever see her ^Cface again I have to ^D7swim across the ^Gsea. When my ^Cearthly trials are over carry my ^Fbody out in the ^Csea. ^FSave all the ^Cundertaker bills let the ^Cmermaids ^Gflirt with ^Cme.
