Oh, the waves on the sea, how they roll   The chilly winds, how they do blow   My own true love got drownded in the deep   And the ship never got to the shore       Oh, the first on the deck was a porter of the ship   And a rough-looking fellow was he   Says, I care no more for my wife and my child   Than I do for the fish in the sea       Oh, the waves on the sea, how they roll   The chilly winds, how they do blow   My own true love got drownded in the deep   And the ship never got to the shore       Well, I left my dear darling a-grieving   I left my dear darling a-grieving   I left my dear darling to grieving after me   For I never expect to see her anymore       Oh, the waves on the sea, how they roll   The chilly winds, how they do blow   My own true love got drownded in the deep   And the ship never got to the shore       Oh, the waves on the sea, how they roll   The chilly winds, how they do blow   My own true love got drownded in the deep   And the ship never got to the shore
