I Have No One to Love Me (But the Sailor On the Deep Blue Sea)

I Have No One to Love Me (But the Sailor On the Deep Blue Sea) - The Carter Family

It was on last Sunday evening

Just about the hour of three

When my darling started leaving

To sail on that deep blue sea

He promised to write a letter

He promised to write to me

And I haven't heard from my darling

Who sails on that deep blue sea

My mother is dead and buried

My papa's forsaken me

And I have no one to love me

But the sailor on the deep blue sea

Oh Captain can you tell me

Can you tell me where he may be

Oh yes my little maiden

He's drownded in the deep blue sea

Farewell to friends and relations

It's the last you'll see of me

I'm going to end my trouble

By drowning in the deep blue sea
