the night was black rain fallin’ down
looked for my baby she’s nowhere around
traced her footsteps down to the shore
‘fraid 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 breaker i saw her near
reached for my darlin’ 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 an endless sleep
endless sleep
endless sleep
endless sleep
endless sleep
