• come here dear sister, i want you to see
    something is slithering down by the sea
    Its right down there, just go down aways
    Its such a beautiful sight that will stay on your eyes for days
    Oh, just hold your breath and dive right in
    youll see what i mean at the bottom of the ocean
    here ill help you, push you down
    no, of course i wont let you drown
    Just go deeper, no deeper, go deeper still
    and deeper, and deeper and deeper still
    thats about it, can you see it now?

    I say dear sister, can you see it now?
    can you see it can you see it now?
    can you see it can you see it now?
    can you see it can you see it now?

    Why no, dearest father, i have not seen her since
    I left the calm ocean as the sky started to dim
    Yes, of course I kept my eye on her
    No, I dont know what became of her
    I swear on the worms that eat mothers brain
    I'm certainly not the one to blame
    I asked her to see this most beautiful sight
    that graces the blue ocean this very night
    Its down and down and down to the bottom
    down and down and down to the bottom
    and when I asked her, sister, can you see it now
    she did not answer, yes sister, i can see it now

    I asked, dear sister, can you see it now?
    can you see it can you see it now?
    can you see it can you see it now?
    can you see it can you see it now?

    So that leads the story to me
    and how you found me at the bottom of the sea
    my golden hair now graces the frame of your harp
    my poor ears bitten off by some sort of carp
    Id much implore you to do something for me
    and lead me back to my sister by the sea
    Id love to sing her a song if you will
    Id love to ask her a question still
    just lead me now lead me lead me back to the sea
    lead me now lead me back down to the sea

    I say dear sister, can you hear it now?
    can you hear it can you hear it now?
    can you hear it can you hear it now?
    can you hear it can you hear it now?

    come here dear sister, i want you to hear
    something is singing down by the sea
    Its right down there, just go down aways
    Its such a beautiful sound that will stay on your ears for days
    Let my voice lead you right down right down to the sea
    to the bottom to the bottom the bottom of the sea
    Down where the rests of my body lie you shall be
    right down right down, come down and join me
