About Asleep in the Deep

Words: Arthur J. Lamb (1897)

Tune: H. W. Petrie (1897)

Asleep in the Deep is a sea song of 1897, with words by Arthur J. Lamb and music by H. W. Petrie, who wrote it for a baritone or bass voice. That is why here the bass, not the soprano, sings the tune. Its last line keeps its lowest notes for the end: it is sung twice, the second time sinking through "asleep in the deep" to a last "beware!" a whole octave below the first. Our arrangement is read from a New York printing by F. A. Mills, checked against Witmark's edition. This is the verse and the refrain for 2 to 4 singers, rolling and dramatic, the other parts holding soft chords on "oo" on Petrie's harmony.
