I'm going away to leave you love

I'm going away for a while

But I'll return to you sometime

If I go ten thousand miles

The storms are on the ocean

The heavens may cease to be

This world may lose it's motion love

If I prove false to thee

Oh who will dress your pretty little feet

And who will glove your hand

Oh who will kiss your rosy red cheeks

When I'm in a foreign land

The storms are on the ocean

The heavens may cease to be

This world may lose it's motion love

If I prove false to thee

Have you seen those mournful doves

Flying from pine to pine

Amournin' for their own true love

Just away I mourn for mine

The storms are on the ocean

The heavens may cease to be

This world may lose it's motion love

If I prove false to thee

The storms are on the ocean

The heavens may cease to be

This world may lose it's motion love

If I prove false to thee
