Waves On The Sea Lyrics - Ralph Stanley

Oh, the waves on the sea, how they roll 

The chilly winds, how they do blow 

My own true love got drownded in the deep 

And the ship never got to the shore 

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 

Oh, the waves on the sea, how they roll 

The chilly winds, how they do blow 

My own true love got drownded in the deep 

And the ship never got to the shore 

Well, I left my dear darling a-grieving 

I left my dear darling a-grieving 

I left my dear darling to grieving after me 

For I never expect to see her anymore 

Oh, the waves on the sea, how they roll 

The chilly winds, how they do blow 

My own true love got drownded in the deep 

And the ship never got to the shore 

Oh, the waves on the sea, how they roll 

The chilly winds, how they do blow 

My own true love got drownded in the deep 

And the ship never got to the shore
