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 mysty blue
|
Deep sea as you hold him to your breast,
|
Does he mention my name to you?
|
|
Chorus:
|
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 whre he sleeps,
|
Then I'd leave this world behind
|
|
Chorus:
|
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,
|
Saayin I'll be here above
|
|
Chorus:
|
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
