What does the deep sea say what does the deep sea say
It moans and groans splashes and foams and rolls on it's weary way
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
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
What does the deep sea say what does the deep sea say
It moans and groans splashes and foams and rolls on it's weary way
A beautiful rose one day I placed on the crest of a wave
I said take this rose and let the petals fall
Above his watery grave
The driftwood I watched in vain but my rose never came back again
So waves take another message to my love
Saying I'll meet him above
What does the deep sea say what does the deep sea say
It moans and guards two lovers in sleep groans
And rolls on it's weary way
