CRYIN' IN THE DEEP BLUE SEA Writer Hank Thompson Well, I went to see my baby She said stay away from me 'Cause I'm a hot wire And you're a flat tire And I'm a-lettin' you go, you see (Chorus) And now, I'm gone You can look for me Down by the ocean Cryin' in the deep blue sea Well, I never thought my baby Would ever say goodbye That goes to show That a man don't know Just how the cards can lie (Repeat Chorus) She left me here to weep and moan Nothin' but the doggone blues I've made my bid But she flipped her lid And now I've got the walkin' shoes (Repeat Chorus, "so" instead of "now") Well, the tears I shed this mornin' And the tears I shed last night I cried, by gosh But it just can't wash My baby from my sight (Repeat Chorus) When I looked out on the ocean Lord, it was deep and wide Well, my baby's gone And I can't go on So I hung my little head and cried (Repeat Chorus) Where? Down by the ocean Cryin' in the deep blue sea
