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
