I heard this song on YT sung by a couple of guys with a mandolin. Their harmonies are excellent. I swizzled some of the words around. Not sure about some of these rhymes, any suggestions? 1. Where has our sailor gone? Oh where has our sailor gone? It's many a day since his ship sailed away And the lonely time grows long 2. If only my burdened mind Some token of peace could find If only the sea would tell me where he be But nary a hint or sign (Chorus) The ocean abounds with danger And if the truth be told There's many a man who's never seen again And the winds blow so icy cold 3. What say you, deep blue sea? Oh what say you, deep blue sea? It heaves and it sighs but there's no reply And my sailor remains unseen 4. Oh captain, tell me true Does our sailor sail with you? No, love, HE dinnae sail with me He sleeps in the ocean blue (chorus) 5. I stand on the beach and brood And gaze at the windy blue As you cradle your guest and hold him to your breast Does he mention my name to you? (chorus) 6. One day the sea's deep bed Is going to give up its dead Our sailor's smile is gone for a while But one day we'll see him again
