What Does the Deep Sea Say

Lyrics

oh 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 foames
 and rolls along its weary way
 ♪
 oh please tell me deep blue sea
 is he sleeping peacefully?
 the winds from the north are blowin as he cold
 can you keep him warm for me?
 if only my grieving soul
 some token of love could flag
 if only the waves would show me where he sleeps
 I'd leave this world behind
 what does the deep sea say?
 oh what does the deep sea say?
 It moans
 It groans
 It splashes and it foames
 and rolls along its weary way
 a beautiful rose one day
 have replaced all the crist of wave
 I said take it please
 and let its pedals fall
 above his watery grave
 the drift would have washed in vain
 my rose never came back again
 the waves take another massage through my love
 said I'll be with him above
 what does the deep sea say?
 what does the deep sea say?
 It groans
 It holds to lovers and peace
 and rolls along its weary way...
