Grandpa Jones — What Does The Deep Sea Say

[Chorus] What does the deep sea say? What does the deep sea say? It moans, and groans And splashes and foams And rolls on its weary way [Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] Please tell me deep blue sea Is he sleeping peacefully Oh the winds from the North Are blowing icy cold Please keep him warm for me [Chorus] What does the deep sea say? What does the deep sea say? It holds and guard Two lovers in sleep And rolls on its weary way [Verse 3] A beautiful rose one day I put it on the crest of a wave I said take this rose And let its petals fall Above his watery grave [Verse 4] The driftwood I watched in vain But my rose ne'er came back again So waves take another Message to my love Sayin' I'll meet him above [Chorus] What does the deep sea say? What does the deep sea say? It holds and guard Two lovers in sleep And rolls on its weary way
