Darlin´ I have come to tell you
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
