about

We named our band after this one. A Lonesome Sea orignal about the love of a sailor. Inspired by the Carter Family's tune "Sinking in the Lonesome Sea."

lyrics

do you know that girl named Daisy?
she grew up in the blue house on my street
when I close my eyes I can feel her hands on me
as I'm sailing on the lonesome sea

the night before I left home
we drank whisky beneath the willow tree
and she said "don't forget that you once belonged to me
while you're sailing on the lonesome sea"

I said "oh, my dearest Daisy, you'll be haunting me"
and she put her arms around me
and smiled her wild smile
"go and see the world at sea"

(chorus)
carry on, my girl
carry on, for me
carry on, my Daisy Cherokee

she always had sand in her shoes
ate breakfast at quarter after three
and I used to call her my Daisy Cherokee
and now I need her on the Lonesome Sea

(chorus)

well I heard she left home last December
packed her car up for the beach
but every once in awhile I hear a story about her smile
that I carry on the lonesome sea

(chorus)
