The night was black rain falling down look for my baby she's nowhere around Traced her footsteps down to the shore afraid she's gone for evermore I looked at the sea and it seemed to say I took your baby from you away I heard a voice cryin' in 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... Ran in the water heart full of fear there in the breakers I saw her near Reached for my darling held her to me stole her away from the angry sea I looked at the sea and it seemed to say you took your baby from me away My heart cried out she's mine to keep I saved my baby from that endless sleep Endless sleep endless sleep endless sleep
