verse 1 
G 
I'm just as blue as I can be 
C                           G 
Since Susie said goodbye to me 
   D7 
My life is a failure, I see 
        G 
And she won't be my gal, no mo', no mo', no mo'. 

verse 2 
     G 
I'll pack my things in a grip 
C                    G 
Take me a long ocean trip 
         D7 
Out on a great big steam ship 
       D7            G 
She'll never see her daddy, no mo'- no mo' 

verse 3 
        G 
Still I hate to say farewell 
C                         G 
To my mammy and my sister Nell 
     D7 
They sure gonna cry, when I tell 
D7                            G 
 That I ain't comin' home, no mo' - no mo'

odel aye-ee ay-ee o lay-ee 

verse 4 
             G 
Perhaps I'll be sorry someday 
C                         G 
That I leave here and go away 
         D7 
But they need not ask me to stay 
               G 
For I'll never change my mind, no mo' - no mo' 

Verse 5 
    G 
Now whether I'm right or wrong 
C                        G 
I'm gonna be gone before long 
      D7 
And then I'll hush this crazy song 
      G 
And I never will sing, no mo' - no mo'
