Reynolds-Nance |
|
The night was black rain fallin' down |
|
Looked for my baby she's no where aroun' |
|
Traced her footsteps down to the shore |
|
Afraid she's gone for ever more |
|
Well I looked at the sea, seemed to say |
|
I took your baby from you away |
|
I heard a voice cry 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 last night |
|
That's why her foot steps ran down to the sea |
|
That's why my baby has gone from me |
|
Well I looked at the sea seemed to say |
|
I took your baby from you away |
|
Well I heard a voice cry in the deep |
|
Come join me baby in my endless sleep |
|
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 |
|
Stole her away from the angry sea |
|
Well I looked at the sea seemed to say |
|
You took your baby from me away |
|
I heard a voice cryin' from the deep. |
|
You saved your baby from the endless sleep |
|
endless sleep endless sleep |
