The Deep Wide Ocean Blues

Yodel 

VERSE: 

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. 



CHORUS: 

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

Yodel 

REPEAT CHORUS 

Yodel 

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