What Does The Deep Sea Say

Where is my sailor boy? Where is my sailor boy?

He sleeps at the bottom of the deep blue sea

And he can''t come back to me



I stand on the beach alone and gaze at the misty blue

Deep sea, as you hold him to your breast

Does he mention my name to you?



What does the deep sea say? What does the deep sea say?

It moans, it groans, it splashes and it foams

And it rolls on it's weary way



Oh, please tell me, deep blue sea, is he sleeping peacefully?

The winds from the north are blowing icy cold

Please keep him warm for me



If only my dreamin' soul, some token of love could find

If only the waves would show me where he sleeps

Then I''d leave this world behind



What does the deep sea say? What does the deep sea say?

It moans, it groans, it splashes and it foams

And it rolls on it's weary way



A beautiful rose one day, I placed on the crest of a wave

I said, "Take it please and let the petals fall

Above his watery grave"



The driftwood I watched in vain, my rose never came back again

So wave take another message to my love

Sayin', "I''ll be here above"



What does the deep sea say? What does the deep sea say?

It moans, it groans, it splashes and it foams

And it rolls on it's weary way
