Deep Blue Sea Lyrics
deep blue sea darlin
on a deep blue sea
deep blue sea darlin
on a deep blue sea
and it was mamma that got
drowned in out in that deep blue sea
dig his grave darlin with a
silver spade
dig his grave darlin with a
silver spade
and it was brother that got
drowned in out in that deep blue sea
drop him down darlin
with a golden chain
drop him down darlin
with a golden chain
and it was daddy that got
drowned in out in that deep blue sea
on a deep blue sea
deep blue sea darlin
on a deep blue sea
drowned in out in that deep blue sea
silver spade
dig his grave darlin with a
silver spade
drowned in out in that deep blue sea
with a golden chain
drop him down darlin
with a golden chain
drowned in out in that deep blue sea

I think this is about the lose of any loved one and the way they, and the memory of them, are treated with honor. The honor part is in these two lines that reference precious metals "dig his grave darlin' with a silver spade" and "drop him down darlin' with a golden chain". It seems also like a lullaby to calm oneself after such a hard thing. The rhythm and softness of the tune and the idea of "deep blue sea" evokes a calming effect. Absolutely gorgeous tune.
I think it more specifically brings up an image of a heroin overdose perhaps. Silver spade being a spoon used in cooking it and the golden chain being the tie for the arm when injecting it. Could be way off but makes you think.
This is a traditional American folk song from around the time of the civil war.
I rly want someone to edit this song with the movie "Deep Blue Sea" with the great Samuel L. "MOTHER FUCKIN" Jackson. But they should edit it so its just one clip of samuel jackson screaming into the camera.

This song is so beautiful but every time I hear "Dig his grave.." I always think he says "Dick is great..." Anyone else hear that?
Freudian slip?

this is a traditional American folk song, possibly from Britain. Pete Seeger and various other singers have done versions.
