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
