paroles de chanson Where is My Sailor Boy - Bill Monroe

Oh, where is my sailor boy?
Oh, where is my sailor boy?
He sleeps in the bottom of the deep blue sea
And can't come back to me

I stand on the beach alone
And gaze at the misty blue
Deep sea here you hold him to your breast
Does he mention my name to you?

Oh, what does the deep sea say?
Oh, what does the deep sea say?
It moans, it groans, oh, it splashes and foams
And roll on, its 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 dreaming soul
Some token or sign could find
If only the waves would show me where he sleeps
I would leave this world behind

Oh, what does the deep sea say?
Oh, what does the deep sea say?
It moans, it groans, oh it splashes and foams
And rolls on its weary way

A beautiful rose one day
I placed on the crest of a wave
I said take it please and let it set upon
Above his watery grave

As it would I watched in vain
My rose ne'er came back again
So wave take another message to my love
Saying I'll meet him above

Oh, what does the deep sea say?
Oh, what does the deep sea say?
It guards, it holds true lovers, and sleeps
And rolls on its weary way
