What Does The Deep Sea Say   
Recorded by Doc Watson
Written by J.E. Mainer

C                G7     C
She stood on the beach alone
    F                  C
And gazed at the misty blue
       F                   C
Saying sea as you hold him to your breast
                   G7      C
Does he mention my name to you

               G7     C
Oh where is my sailor boy
F                  C
Where is my sailor boy
   F                           C
He sleeps at the bottom of the deep blue sea
                  G7      C
And he can't come back to me

                 G7       C
Oh what does the deep sea say
              G7       C
What does the deep sea say
            G7        F               C
It moans it groans it splashes and it foams
                    G7    C
And it rolls on its weary way

                  G7        C
Oh please tell me deep blue sea
      F               C
Is he sleeping peacefully
        F
For the winds from the north
    C
Are blowing icy cold
                 G7       C
Can you keep him warm for me

           G7       C
If only my grieving soul
     F                    C
Some token of love should find
   F                    C
If only the waves could show me where he sleeps
                    G7      C
Then I'd leave this world behind

Repeat #3

            G7       C
A beautiful rose one day
  F                        C
I placed on the crest of a wave
      F
And I said take it please
    C
And let it settle home
         G7     C
Upon his watery grave

                   G7         C
The driftwood I've watched in vain
       F                    C
And my rose never came back again
   F
So waves take another
C
Message to my love
                   G7   C
Tell him I'll meet him above

                 G7       C
Oh what does the deep sea say
              G7       C
What does the deep sea say
              G7
It guards and keeps
   F
My lover where he sleeps
C                   G7    C
And it rolls on its weary way
