Rockin', Rollin' Ocean

Written by Theda Roush

Recorded by Hank SnowEv'ry day I listen to the surging tide,

And I always wonder why the sea's so wide;

Miles of salty water, endless skies above,

Stretch out far between me and the one I love.CHORUS

Rockin' rollin' ocean,

With your briny foam,

Bring my sweetheart back to me,

Bring my darling home.Ev'ry night I wander down beside the sea,

Callin' to the wind to blow her back to me;

Now my arms are empty, since she sailed away,

Only stars to hear me when I kneel and pray.CHORUSLittle drops of water, little grains of sand,

Make a wide, wide ocean in a lonely land;

When a new ship anchors and she don't appear,

I make the ocean wider with another tear.CHORUS
