One day I'm going down in the water
Down in the gloomy deep
I'll be dangling my knees
Down in the gloomy deep
Supping on the silent water
Down in the gloomy deep
On the bayful river leathe

Down in the Gloomy Deep
Down in the Gloomy Deep

Drop by drop
My being is forgot
Drip by drip
My state will slowly slip
Drop by drop
My being is forgot
Drip by drip
My state will slowly slip
From my hand into the water's grip

Slow and silent the water flows
Down in the gloomy deep
Trickling out my memory goes
Down in the gloomy deep
Draining all life's eagerness
Down in the gloomy deep
Lost in sweet forgetfulness
Down in the gloomy deep
Down in the gloomy deep

Drop by drop
My being is forgot
Drip by drip
My state will slowly slip
Drop by drop
My being is forgot
Drip by drip
My state will slowly slip
From my hand into the water's grip

We will come here before the fire
Down in the gloomy deep
To where our business will be
Down in the gloomy deep
Before we do his errands
Down in the gloomy deep
On the bayfull river leathe
Down in the gloomy deep
Down in the gloomy deep
Down in the gloomy deep
Down in the gloomy deep
