Subject: RE: What Does The Deep Sea Say?
With a few minor changes - 'rolls' for 'goes' in the chorus; 'the wind from the north' in stanza 2; and 'crest' for 'brow' in stanza 3 - what Pete P. posted above accords with the Blue Sky Boys and Monroe Brothers recordings. A Blue Sky Boys recording, under the title 'What Does the Deep Sea Say', is available on CD: 'Blue Sky Boys' Rounder CD 0052. The Monroe Brothers recorded it under the title 'Where Is My Sailor Boy' and this is available on volume two of the Rounder reissues of their work - The Monroe Brothers 'Volume Two: Just A Song of Old Kentucky' Rounder CD 1074 - and also on the recent Bear Family 6-CD set Bill Monroe 'Blue Moon of Kentucky 1936-1949' which includes the complete Monroe Brothers Bluebirds [60 sides].
