First Verse Down by the seaside, where waves were rolling, A boy went strolling Moonlight night, he was watching the fish play. That very evening Beside the water, sat Neptune's daughter When he spied her pretty face he cried. Second Verse Once he went fishing, where waves were rolling, He started strolling, Hours went by, Then the shadows began to fall. His heart was lonely He sat there thinking, the sun was sinking From the blue there came a voice he knew. Chorus Lovely little Neptune's daughter Living underneath the water, I love you, Yes I do, You seem to me, to be lonely, When the moon begins to glimmer, If I were a deep sea swimmer Then I'd go down below, My little queen of the sea.
