What Did the Deep Sea Say?

Oh captain tell me the truth Does my sailor sail with you No he does not sail with me He sleeps on the bottom of the sea What did the deep sea say, Tell me what did the deep sea say Well it moaned and it groaned And it splashed and it foamed And it rolled on it's weary way Well he promised to write to me But his promise he never kept true Never a word from my sailor have I heard Since he sailed on that ocean blue What did the deep sea say, What did the deep sea say it moaned and it groaned And it splashed and it foamed And it rolled on it's weary way A beautiful rose every day A place on the crest of the waves Said take it please and let the pedals fall Upon his watery grave What did the deep sea say, Tell me what did the deep sea say It moaned and it groaned And it splashed and it foamed And it rolled on it's weary way Oh what did the deep sea say, What did the deep sea say It moaned and it groaned And it splashed and it foamed And it rolled on it's weary way what did that deep sea say, tell me what did that deep sea say It moaned and it groaned And it splashed and it foamed And it rolled on it's weary way --- What Did the Deep Sea Say? - Woody Guthrie and Cisco Houston
