First verse:

C        G      C       F               C
Blues all on the ocean, blues all in the air;
F                  C          D                G
Can't stay here no longer, I have no steamship fare.
        C        G         C             F               C
When my earthly trials are over, cast my body out in the sea; 
F                C                    G                  C
Save on the undertaker bill - let the mermaids flirt with me!


Second verse:

  C       G          C               F                 C
I do not work for pleasure; earthly peace I'll see no more;
     F             C                 D                     G
The only reason I work at all is to drive the wolf from my door.
        C        G         C             F               C
When my earthly trials are over, cast my body out in the sea;
F                C                    G                  C
Save on the undertaker bill - let the mermaids flirt with me!


Third verse:

   C       G           C               F                C
My wife controls our happy home; my sweetheart I cannot find.
    F                C                D                      G
The only thing I can call my own is a troubled and a worried mind.
        C        G         C             F               C
When my earthly trials are over, cast my body out in the sea;
F                C                    G                  C
Save on the undertaker bill - let the mermaids flirt with me!


Fourth verse:

C         G       C      F                   C
Blues all in my body; my darlin' has forsaken me.
     F            C                   D                G
If I ever see her face again, have to travel 'cross the sea.
        C        G         C             F               C
When my earthly trials are over, cast my body out in the sea;
F                C                    G                  C
Save on the undertaker bill - let the mermaids flirt with me!


Fifth verse, the same as first:

C        G      C       F               C
Blues all on the ocean, blues all in the air;
F                  C          D                G
Can't stay here no longer, I have no steamship fare.
        C        G         C             F               C
When my earthly trials are over, cast my body out in the sea; 
F                C                    G                  C
Save on the undertaker bill - let the mermaids flirt with me!
