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 letting you go, you see"
And now I'm gone
You can look for me
Down by the ocean
Crying 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
And now I'm gone
You can look for me
Down by the ocean
Crying in the deep blue sea
She left me here
To weep and moan
Nothing but the doggone blues
I've made my bid
But she flipped her lid
And now I've got my walking shoes
And so I'm gone
You can look for me
Down by the ocean
Crying in the deep blue sea
The tears I shed this morning
And the tears I shed last night
I cried by gosh
But it just can't wash
My baby from my sight
And now I'm gone
You can look for me
Down by the ocean
Crying in the deep blue sea
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
And now I'm gone
You can look for me
Down by the ocean
Crying in the deep blue sea
Down by the ocean
Crying in the deep blue sea
