Mermaids

Blues all in the ocean
Blues all in the air
I can't stay here no longer
I got no steamship fare
When my earthly trials are over
Cast my body out in the sea
I said save on the undertakers bill
And let the mermaids flirt with me

I do not work for pleasure
Earthly peace I'll see no more
The only reason that I'm workin at all
Is to drive the work from my door
When my earthly trials are over
Cast my body out in the sea
I said save on the undertakers bill
And let the mermaids flirt with me

My wife controls our happy home
A sweetheart I can not find
The only thing I can call my own
Is a troubled and a worried mind
When my earthly trials are over
Cast my body out in the sea
Save on the undertakers bill
And let the mermaids flirt with me

Blues all in my body
My darling has forsaken me
If I ever see her face again
I have to swim across the sea
When my earthly trials are over
Cast my body out in the sea
Save on the undertakers bill
And let the mermaids flirt with me

Blues all in the ocean
I got blues all in the air
I can't stay here no longer
I got no steamship fare
When my earthly trials are over
Cast my body out in the sea
I said save on the undertakers bill
And let the mermaids flirt with me
