Woody Guthrie — What Did The Deep Sea Say

A               A  
Oh captain tell me true, 
 D                       A
does my sailor sail with you? 
 D              A
No, he does not sail with me, 
 E7                            A
He sleeps on the bottom of the sea. 
 
CHORUS: 
 A                    A
What did the deep sea say? 
         D                     A
Tell me, what did the deep sea say? 
   D
It moaned and groaned 
       A
And it splashed and it foamed 
       E7                  A
And it rolled on its weary way. 
 
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. 
 
CHORUS 
 
А beautiful rose every day 
I placed on the crest of the waves. 
Said "Take it please, 
And let the petals fall 
Above his watery grave." 
 
CHORUS
