(Charles Justice/Shoji Tabuchi)

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
