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
