E 
The night was black rain falling down  
E                      B        E  
Look for my baby she's nowhere around 
E 
Traced her footsteps down to the shore  
E                     B   E 
Afraid she's gone for evermore 
  
  A  
I looked at the sea and it seemed to say  
E                     B    E 
I took your baby from you away 
A             
I heard a voice cryin' in the deep  
E                       B       E 
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,  
 
Chorus 
 
Ran in the water heart full of fear  
There in the breakers I saw her near 
Reached for my darling held her to me  
Stole her away from the angry sea 
 
Chorus 2: 
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 that endless sleep 
 
B       E 
Endless sleep  
B       E 
Endless sleep  
B       E 
Endless sleep
