Verso 1:
D
Oh captain tell me true
G D
Does my sailor sail with you
G D
No, he does not sail with me
A D
He sleeps on the bottom of the sea

What did the deep sea say

Tell me, what did the deep sea say
G
It moaned and groaned

And it splashed and it foamed
A D
And it rolled on its weary way
Verso 2:

Well, he promised he'd 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 and groaned

And it splashed and it foamed
A D
And it rolled on its weary way

A beautiful rose today
G D
I placed on the crest of the waves

Said "Take it please

And let the petals fall
A D
Above his watery grave.

Tell me, what did the deep sea say

It moaned and groaned
