Tho' it almost breaks my heart
 But before the mornin', darlin'
 We'll be many miles apart

 Don't this road look rough and rocky
 Don't that sea look wide and deep
 Don't my baby look the sweetest
 When he's in my arms asleep

 Can't you hear the nightbird's cryin'
 Far across the deep blue sea
 While others you are thinking
 Won't you sometimes think of me

 Don't this road look rough and rocky
 Don't that sea look wide and deep
 Don't my baby look the sweetest
 When he's in my arms asleep

 One more kiss before I leave you
 One more kiss before we part
 You have caused me lots of trouble
 Darlin', you have broke my heart

 Don't this road look rough and rocky
 Don't that sea look wide and deep
 Don't my baby look the sweetest
 When he's in my arms asleep
