Verse 1: Oh captain tell me true Does my sailor sail with you No he does not sail with me He sleeps on the bottom of the sea What did the deep sea say Tell me what did the deep sea say It moaned and groaned And it splashed and it foamed And it rolled on its weary way Verse 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 And it rolled on its weary way   Verse 3: A beautiful rose today I placed on the crest of the waves Said "Take it please And let the petals fall Above his watery grave. What did the deep sea say Tell me what did the deep sea say It moaned and groaned And it splashed and it foamed And it rolled on its weary way Instrumental: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | Oh what did the deep sea say What did the deep sea say It moaned and groaned And it splashed and it foamed And it rolled on its weary way What did the deep sea say Tell me what did the deep sea say It moaned and groaned And it splashed and it foamed And it rolled on its weary way

Cette chanson raconte l’histoire d’une femme qui se languit de son marin, perdu en mer. Elle interroge le capitaine pour savoir s'il est avec lui, mais elle apprend qu’il repose au fond de l’océan. Elle évoque les promesses non tenues de son amoureux, qui n’a jamais donné de nouvelles depuis qu’il est parti. En guise d’hommage, elle dépose une belle rose sur les vagues, espérant que les pétales atteignent sa sépulture sous-marine. À travers ce dialogue avec la mer, on perçoit une profonde mélancolie et une connexion avec l’infini de la nature.
