Walter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Out on the gloomy sea
Once I was lost
Out on that gloomy sea
And I began to wonder
What would become a-me?
The thunder was rolling
The thunder was rolling
The rain begin to fall
I thought to myself
I wouldn't see home, anymo'
I left my home
When I was only five years old
I left my home
When I was only five years old
And if I ever get back
I'll never leave home anymo'
I was so lonely
I could not control myself
I was so lonely
I could not control myself
I couldn't hear from my baby
Couldn't hear from nobody else
I walked so far
I've gived down in my knees
I walked so far
I've gived down in my knees
Mister, will you let me ride
In your machine, if you please?
The lyrics to Walter's song "Deep Sea Blues" talk about being lost in the gloomy sea and the feelings of loneliness, despair, and uncertainty that one can experience in such a situation. The singer describes being lost in the middle of a storm, with the thunder rolling and the rain falling. He wonders what will become of him, and thinks he might never see home again. The singer then reveals that he left home when he was just five years old, but if he ever makes it back, he'll never leave again.
The second stanza continues the theme of loneliness and despair. The singer says he couldn't control himself, he was so lonely. He couldn't hear from his baby or from anybody else. He then talks about walking so far that he's given down in his knees, and he asks someone if they can give him a ride in their machine. The song ends on a somewhat hopeful note. The singer's fate is uncertain, but he's still looking for a way out of his situation.

Once I was lost
I was lost and alone
Out on the gloomy sea
I was surrounded by a dark and dreary ocean
And I began to wonder
I started to question
What would become a-me?
What will happen to me?
The thunder was rolling
The sound of thunder was all around me
The rain begin to fall
Rain began to pour
I thought to myself
I reflected
I wouldn't see home, anymo'
I wouldn't ever see my home again
I left my home
I abandoned my house
When I was only five years old
At an extremely young age
And if I ever get back
If I am ever able to return
I'll never leave home anymo'
I will never depart from my home again
I was so lonely
I was extremely isolated
I could not control myself
I couldn't handle my emotions
I couldn't hear from my baby
I couldn't receive communication from my loved one
Couldn't hear from nobody else
No other individual contacted me
I walked so far
I traveled an extensive distance
I've gived down in my knees
I had to kneel down
Mister, will you let me ride
Sir, am I able to ride
In your machine, if you please?
In your vehicle, if it's not inconvenient?

With a Fish and a Trout in the band they surely know their scales. And a Bass guitar too!

Bwaaa haaa haaa haaa haaa ... excellent observation. My chauvinist observation is rock & roll and R & B guitar are still essentially male sports. LMAO
Dallas Russell
🤣🤣🤣
carl hawkins
that was some serious talent on that stage
Anthony Piña
A fun display of guitar talent. Joe as smooth as ever, Samantha with killer tone and feel, Kenny Wayne channeling his inner Stevie Ray Vaughan and Walter Trout possesed by the sprit of Buddy Guy.
Bob Moe
@Robert Rouse and still playing!
Sounds good too!

Re KWS channeling SRV, I had the same thought! As for the rest of your comment, well put sir!
