What Does Th Deep Sea Say

VERSE 1
O, where is my sailor boy,
O where is my sailor boy,
He sleeps in th bottom of th deep blue sea
An' can't come back to me

VERSE 2
I stand on th beach alone
And gaze at th misty blue
Deep sea as you hold him to your breast
Does he mention my name to you

VERSE 3
O, what does th deep sea say,
O, what does th deep sea say,
It moans, it groans, O, it flashes an' foams
An' rolls on its weary way

VERSE 4
If only my grieving soul
Some token or sign could find
If only th waves would show me where he sleeps
I'd leave this world behind

VERSE 5
I gave him a rose one day
I placed on th crest of th wave
I said, take it please, an' let it settle foam
Above his watery grave

VERSE 6
Th driftwood I watched in vain
My rose n'er came back again
So waves take another message to my love
Say'in that I'll meet him above

VERSE 7
O, what does th deep sea say,
O, what does th deep sea say,
It moans, it groans, O, it flashes an' foams
An' rolls on its weary way
