[Intro]
[Verse 1]
I'm longing to
night with my
memory
Of a sailor bo
y so dear to m
e
He was proud o
f the chance t
o serve his co
untry
He sailed out
on the deep ro
lling sea
[Verse 2]
With his buddi
es he knew he
was going
To conquer a b
ad enemy
With a smile a
nd a kiss ther
e he left me
To bring back
our sweet libe
rty
[Chorus]
There's a grav
e in the wave
of the ocean
In the midst o
f the deep rol
ling sea
Where my sweet
heart's life o
f devotion
Was laid down
for the land o
f the free
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
All the boys o
f the convoy w
ere youngsters
And were going
far away from
home
They all reali
zed that they
may not
Return o'er th
e dark rolling
foam
[Chorus]
There's a grav
e in the wave
oG f the ocea
n
In the midst o
f the deep rol
ling sea
Where my sweet
heart's life o
f devotion
Was laid down
for the land o
f the free
[Instrumental]
[Verse 4]
Today they had
sped through
the ocean
When a bomb hi
t the ship in
the stern
Some careless
word had been
spoken
Someone had ta
lked out of tu
rn
[Chorus]
There's a grav
e in the wave
of the ocean
In the midst o
f the deep rol
ling sea
Where my sweet
heart's life o
f devotion
Was laid down
for the land o
f the free
