 Blues are in the ocean Blues all in the air Can't stay here no longer Got no steamship fare When my earthly trials are over Cast my body out in the sea Save all the undertaker bills And let the mermaids flirt with me My wife controls our happy home My sweetheart I cannot find The only thing I can call my own Is a troubled and a worried mind But when my earthly trials are over Cast my body out in the sea Save all the undertaker bills And 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 wolf from my door But when my earthly trials are over Cast my body out in the sea Save all the undertaker bills And let the mermaids flirt with me
