The night was black rain fallin' down
i looked my baby she's no where aroun'
chased 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 wy 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
Out in the water heart full of fear
there in the breaker i saw her near
reached for my darlin' held her to me
dragged her away from the angry sea
Well i looked at the sea seemed to say
i took your baby from you away
i heard a voice cryin' in the deep
i took your baby from the endless sleep
i grabbed my baby from the endless sleep
