What Did The Deep Sea Say_

What Did the Deep Blue Sea Say - Cisco Houston/Woody Guthrie

Oh captain tell me true

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

It moaned and groaned

And it splashed and it foamed

And it rolled on it's weary way

He promised he'd write to me

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

Tell me what did the deep sea say

It moaned and groaned

And it splashed and it foamed

And it rolled on it's weary way

Well a beautiful rose every day

I placed on the crest of the waves

I 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 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 groaned

And it splashed and it foamed

And it rolled on it's weary way
