The Carter Family - Waves on the Sea lyrics

[Chorus] Oh, the waves on the sea, how they roll The chilly winds, how they do blow My own true love got drowneded in the deep And the ship never got to the shore [Verse 1] 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" [Chorus] [Verse 2] Well, I left my dear darling a-grieving Well, I left my dear darling a-grieving I left my dear darling grieving after me For I never expect to see her anymore [Chorus]
