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
