Deep blue sea, darling, deep blue sea
Deep blue sea, darling, deep blue sea
Deep blue sea, darling, deep blue sea
It was mama that got drowned out
In the deep blue sea
Dig his grave with a silver spade
Dig his grave with a silver spade
Dig his grave with a silver spade
And it was brother that got drowned out
In the deep blue sea
Low'r him down with a golden chain
Low'r him down with a golden chain
Low'r him down with a golden chain
And it was daddy that got drowned out
In the deep blue sea
Deep blue sea, darling, deep blue sea
Deep blue sea, darling, deep blue sea
Deep blue sea, baby, deep blue sea
It was mama that got drowned out
In the deep blue sea

Down in the valley valley so low
Hang your head over hear the wind blow
Hear the wind blow dear hear the wind blow
Hang your head over hear the wind blow
Roses love sunshine violets love dew
Angels in heaven know I love you
Know I love you dear know I love you
Angels in heaven know I love you
If you don’t love me love whom you please
Throw your arms ’round me give my heart ease
Give my heart ease love give my heart ease
Throw your arms round me give my heart ease
Build me a castle forty feet high
So I can see him as he rides by
As he rides by love as he rides by
So I can see him as he rides by
Write me a letter send it by mail
Send it in care of Birmingham jail
Birmingham jail love Birmingham jail
Send it in care of Birmingham jail

Goodnight Irene (2022)
03:45
|

I asked your mother for you
She told me that you were too young
I wish dear Lord I'd never seen your face
I'm sorry that you ever were born
Irene, goodnight
Irene, goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I guess you're in my dreams
Sometimes I live in the country
Sometimes I live in town
Sometimes I get a great notion
Jumping into the river and drown
Irene, goodnight
Irene, goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I guess you're in my dreams
Stop ramblin' and stop gamblin'
Quit staying out late at night
Go home to your wife and family
Stay there by the fireside bright
Irene, goodnight
Irene, goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I guess you're in my dreams
I love Irene, God knows I do
I love her till the sea runs dry
And if Irene turns her back on me
I'm gonna take morphine and die
Irene, goodnight
Irene, goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'll get you in my dreams

Worried Man Blues (2022)

It takes a worried man to sing a worried song
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song
I'm worried now but I won't be worried long
Went across the river, I lay down to sleep
Went across the river, I lay down to sleep
When I woke up had shackles on my feet
Twenty-one links of chain around my leg
Twenty-one links of chain around my leg
And on each link the initials of my name
The train I ride is twenty-one coaches long
The train I ride is twenty-one coaches long
The gal I love is on that train and gone
Asked that judge what's gonna be my fine
Asked that judge what's gonna be my fine
Twenty-one years on that Rocky Mountain Line
Twenty-one years to pay my awful crime
Twenty-one years to pay my awful crime
Twenty-one years, and I still got ninety-nine

Hang me, oh, hang me, I'll be dead and gone.
Hang me, oh, hang me, I'll be dead and gone.
I wouldn't mind the hanging it's just the laying in the grave's so long
Poor boy, I've been all around this world.
I been all around Cape Girardeau, parts of Arkansas
All around Cape Girardeau, parts of Arkansas
Got so goddamn hungry I could hide behind a straw
Poor boy, I've been all around this world.
Went up Blue Ridge Mountain there I made my stand
Went up Blue Ridge Mountain mountain, there I made my stand
A rifle on my shoulder and a dagger in my hand
Poor boy, I've been all around this world.
Hang me, oh, hang me and I'll be dead and gone.
Hang me, oh, hang me and I'll be dead and gone.
I wouldn't mind the hanging it's just the laying in the grave's so long
Poor boy, I've been all around this world.
Put the rope around my neck, hung me up so high
Put the rope around my neck, hung me up so high
The last words I heard them say: "Won't be long before you die"
Poor boy, I've been all around this world.
Hang me, oh, hang me and I'll be dead and gone.
Hang me, oh, hang me, I'll be dead and gone.
I wouldn't mind the hanging it's just the laying in the grave's so long
Poor boy, I've been all around this world.

I wish to the Lord I’d never been born
Or died when I was young
I never would a’ seen your two blue eyes
Or heard your lying tongue
All the good times are past and gone
All the good times are o’er
All the good times are past and gone
Little darlin’ don’t you weep no more.
Now don’t you see that turtle dove
Flyin' from pine to pine
It’s mournin’ for It’s own true love
Just like I mourn for mine.
Come back, come back my own true love
And stay a while with me
For if ever I’ve had a friend in this world
You’ve been a friend to me

Silver Dagger (2022)
03:02
|

Don't sing love songs, you'll wake my mother
She's sleeping here, right by my side
And in her hand a silver dagger
She says that I can't be your bride
"All men are false", says my mother
"They'll tell you wicked, lovin' lies
The very next evening they'll court another
Leave you alone to pine and sigh"
My daddy is a handsome devil
He's got a chain five miles long
And on every link a heart does dangle
Of another maid he's loved and wronged
Go, court another tender maiden
And hope that she will be your wife
For I've been warned and I've decided
To sleep alone all of my life

Gonna lay down my old guitar
Gonna lay down my old guitar
Oh I wish I could tie it to my side
And take it along with me
There’s no one to cry for me
There’s no one to cry for me
I’ve wandered so far away can’t you see
And there’s no one to cry for me
I’m sick in a lonesome bed
I’m sick in a lonesome bed
There’s no one to hold my aching head
And I’m sick in a lonesome bed
I’m telling this world goodbye
I’m telling this world goodbye
I’m telling the world and my dear little girl
I’ll soon tell them all goodbye

Everybody’s got to walk this lonesome valley
They've got to walk it by themselves
Ain't nobody here can walk it for them
They've got to walk it by themselves
My mother’s got to walk this lonesome valley
She’s got to walk it by herself
Ain't nobody here can walk it for her
She’s got to walk it by herself
My father’s got to walk this lonesome valley
He’s got to walk it by himself
Ain't nobody here can walk it for him
He’s got to walk it by himself
Everybody’s got to walk this lonesome valley
They've got to walk it by themselves
Ain't nobody here can walk it for them
They've got to walk it by themselves
