lyrics

Where is my sailor boy?
Where is my sailor boy?
He sleeps on the bottom of the Deep Blue Sea,
and he can't get back to me.

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, it groaned, it splashed, and it foamed,
and it rolled on its weary way.

A beautiful rose every day,
I place on the crest of the waves.
I said, "take it please", and let the petals fall
upon his watery grave.

Please tell me, Deep Blue Sea.
Is he sleeping peacefully?
The wind from the north is blowing icy cold.
Please keep him warm for me.
