[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
And now, I'm gone
You can look for me
Down by the ocean
Cryin' in the deep blue sea
[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
And so, I'm gone
You can look for me
Down by the ocean
Cryin' in the deep blue sea

[Verse 4]
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

[Chorus]
And now, I'm gone
You can look for me
Down by the ocean
Cryin' in the deep blue sea
[Instrumental]

[Verse 5]
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

[Chorus]
And now, I'm gone
You can look for me
Down by the ocean
Cryin' in the deep blue sea

[Outro]
Down by the ocean
Cryin' in the deep blue sea
