The night was black, rain fallin' down;
Looked for my baby, she's [E7]nowhere ar[Am]ound.
Traced her footsteps down to the shore,
'Fraid she's gone for[E7]ever m[Am]ore.
I lo[F]oked at the sea and it seemed to say,
"[C]I took your baby from you away."
[F]I heard a voice cryin' in the deep,
[C]"Come join me, baby, in my e[G]ndless sl[C]eep."[C][-][C/B][-][Am]
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 and it seemed to say,
"I took your baby from you away."
I heard a voice cryin' in the deep,
"Come join me, baby, in my 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.
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 an endless sleep.
