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 moreWell, I looked at the sea, 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 sleepWhy 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 why, my baby has gone from meWell, I looked at the sea seemed to say
I took your baby from you away
Well, I heard a voice cryin' in the deep
Come join me baby, in my endless sleep
Endless sleepOut 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 seaWell, 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 guard my baby from the endless sleep
