Oh captain tell me the truth Does my sailor sail with you No he does not sail with me He sleeps at the bottom of the sea What did the deep sea say, What did the deep sea say Well it moaned and it growned And it splashed and it phoned And it rolled on it's weary way 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 the ocean blue What did the deep sea say, What did the deep sea say Well it moaned and it growned And it splashed and it phoned And it rolled on it's weary way A beautiful rose of green day I plant on the crest of the way I say take it please And let the pedals fall Upon his watery grave What did the deep sea say, What did the deep sea say Well it moaned and it growned And it splashed and it phoned And it rolled on it's weary way
