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
