What Does the Deep Sea Say?
(Woody Guhrie)

cho: Tell me, what does the deep sea say?
     What does the deep sea say?
     It moans and it groans, it slashes and it foams
     And rolls on its weary way.

The big boat is comin 'round the bend
Yes the big boat is comin' round the bend
It ain't doin' nothin' but killing good men
The big boat is comin' 'round the bead.

Oh, Vicksburg was a mighty hilly town,
Yes, Vicksburg was a mighty hilly town,
The Yankee gunboats shore blowed it down
Vicksburg was a mighty hilly town.
