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
