Blue soul in the ocean,
blue soul in the air
I cannot stay here no longer,
I have no steamship fare
When my earthly trials are over,
cast my body out into the sea
Say one undertaker bill,
let the mermaids flirt with me
I do not work for pleasure,
after peace I see no more
The only reason I work at all is to travel all the way from my door
When my earthly trials are over,
cast my body out into the sea
Say one undertaker bill,
let the mermaids flirt with me
Blue soul 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 into the sea
Say one undertaker bill,
let the mermaids flirt with me
Blue soul out in the ocean,
blue soul in the air
I cannot stay here no longer,
I have no steamship fare
When my earthly trials are over,
cast my body out into the sea
Say one undertaker bill,
let the mermaids flirt with me
