Deep blue sea, Willie, deep blue sea Deep blue sea, Willie, deep blue sea Deep blue sea, Willie, deep blue sea It was Willie what got drown-ded in the deep blue sea Captain, captain, did he sail with you? Captain, captain, did he sail with you? Captain, captain, did he sail with you? It was Willie what got drown-ded in the deep blue sea The wind blew high and the waves grew strong The wind blew high and the waves grew strong The wind blew high and the waves grew strong It was Willie what got drown-ded in the deep blue sea Sew his shroud with a silken thread Sew his shroud with a silken thread Sew his shroud with a silken thread It was Willie what got drown-ded in the deep blue sea Golden sun, bring him back to me Golden sun, bring him back to me Golden sun, bring him back to me It was Willie what got drown-ded in the deep blue sea Deep blue sea, Willie, deep blue sea Deep blue sea, Willie, deep blue sea Deep blue sea, Willie, deep blue sea It was Willie what got drown-ded in the deep blue sea Less traditional last line of verses, better for singers named Will: Stole my heart and took it down into the deep blue sea.
