Next time out to sea bring enough soil to bury me 
For I don't want my final jig in the belly of a squid 
Next time out to sea bring enough soil to bury me 
For I don't want my final jig in the belly of a squid 

Take my trousers take my shirt just give me that sweet dirt 
For the water's cold and grim and I never did learn to swim 
No her love never set me free so I set off for the ocean 
Now in my dreams she comes to me whispering of peace 
But I've known since the day that we sailed for santiago 
Her dry embrace would kiss my face no never, no more 

The sea is a cruel mistress 
Yeah the sea is a cruel mistress 

Many moons to the day that I threw her love away 
Now every whale spouts, go to hell 
As the wind laughs in my face 
I've grown harder on the eyes and salty on the taste 
My pride has gone with the wake as I wait a cold wet grave 
I rose to the smell of a wet desert hell 
And I thought to myself how'd I wind up in this jail 
Till a voice called to me from deep within the sea 
Dry your eyes my dear fisherman your ass belongs to me 

The sea is a cruel mistress 
Yeah the sea is a cruel mistress 

The earth will rest my bones lord I know, lord I know 
But I'll see you when I get home from the cold, yeah from the cold 

No her love never set me free so I set off for the ocean 
Now in my dreams she comes to me whispering of peace 
But I've known since the day that we sailed for santiago 
Her dry embrace would kiss my face no never, no more 

The sea is a cruel mistress 
The sea is a cruel mistress 

Next time out to sea bring enough soil to bury me 
For I don't want my final jig in the belly of a squid 

Next time out to sea bring enough soil to bury me 
For in my dreams she comes to me whispering of peace

Next time out to sea bring enough soil to bury me 
For I don't want my final jig in the belly of a squid
