Standard (EADGBE)

The night was black, rain fallin' down,

 Looked for my baby, she's nowhere around,

Traced her footsteps down to the shore,

 ‘fraid she's gone forever more.

 I looked at the sea and it 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 sleep.

Why did we quarrel, why did we fight?

Why did I leave her alone tonight?

That's why her footsteps ran into the sea,

That's why my baby has gone from me.

I looked at the sea and it 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 sleep.

Ran in the water, heart full of fear,

There in the breakers I saw her near.

Reached for my darlin', held her to me,

Stole her away from the angry sea.

I looked at the sea and it seemed to say,

You took your baby from me away.

My heart cried out she's mine to keep,

I saved my baby from an endless sleep.

Endless sleep(x5)
