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.”
