Deep, Deep Sea
O' bury me not in the deep deep sea These words came faint and mournfully From the pallid lips of a youth who lay In his cabin cot from day to day Oh he wasted and pined till O'er his brow The death shade slowly passed him now When the land of his fond love home was nigh We had gathered around to see him die
For in fancy we listen to the well known words To the free wild wind, and the sound of birds I have thought of home, of cot, and bauer And of scenery I loved in childhood's hour And it's ever I hoped to be laid when I die In the churchyard there on the green hillside By the homes of my father my grave should be So bury me not in the deep deep sea
Let my death slumbers be where a father's prayer And the sister's tears will be blended there Oh it will be sweet 'ere the heart throbs o'er To know where its fountains will gush no more Let those who so fondly hath yourned for to come Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com To plant wild flowers of sping on my tomb Let me lie where my loved ones will weep for me Oh bury me not in the deep deep sea
And there is another who tears shall shed For him that lies in the cold ocean bed In hours that it pains me to think on now She has twined these locks and kissed this brow Through the hair she wreathed will the sea serpant hiss The brow she pressed will the cold wave kiss For the sake of the bright one that weeps for me Oh bury me not in the deep deep sea
She has been in my dreams, His voice fell there We gave no heed to his dying prayer We lowered him slow o'er the vessels side Above him closed the dark blue tide Where to dip her wing the sea fowl rests The blue waves dance with their foaming crests Where the Billows bound and the winds sport free Bury me not in the deep deep sea
