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
