AmC I will dress your eyelids
AmC With dimes upon your eyes
AmC Laying close to water
AmC Green your grave will rise
G Go to sleep little ugly
Am Go to sleep you little fool
G Forty-winking in the belfry
AmC You'll not feel the drowning
AmC You'll not feel the drowning
AmC Forget you once had sweethearts
AmC They've forgotten you
AmC Think you not on parents
AmC They've forgotten too
G Go to sleep now little ugly
Am Go to sleep now you little fool
G Forty-winking in the belfry
AmC You'll not feel the drowning
AmC You'll not feel the drowning
G Go to sleep now little ugly
Am Go to sleep now you little fool
G Forty-winking in the belfry
AmC You'll not feel the drowning
AmC You'll not feel the drowning
 
AmC Hear you now the captain
AmC Heed his sorrowed cry
AmC "Weight upon your eyelids
AmC As dimes laid on your eyes"
