The night was black rain fallin' down Looked for my baby she's no where around Chased her footsteps down to the shore Afraid she's gone forevermore
I looked at the sea and it seemed to say I took your baby from you away I heard a voice cryin' in the deep Come join me baby in my endless sleep
Why did we quarrel why did we fight Why did I leave her alone tonight That's why her footsteps ran into the sea That's why my baby has gone from me
I looked at the sea and it seemed to say I took your baby from you away I heard a voice cryin' in the deep Come join me baby in my endless sleep
Ran in the water heart full of fear There in the breakers I saw her near Reached for my darlin' held her to me I stole her away from the angry sea
I looked at the sea and it seemed to say You took my baby from me away My heart cryin' she's mine to keep I saved my baby from the endless sleep I saved my baby from the endless sleep Endless sleep Endless sleep Endless sleep Endless sleep Endless sleep Endless sleep
