Ralph Stanley - Waves On The Sea lyrics

rate me

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
