Hank Snow - Rockin' Rollin' Ocean lyrics

Written by Theda Roush Recorded by Hank Snow Ev'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. CHORUS Little 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
