    Oh, who will kiss your rosy red cheek, when I'm in a far off land?

    Oh,Poppa will dress my pretty little feet,and Momma will glove my hand. 
                    F          C                                            G        C 
    You can kiss my rosy red cheeks, when you return again.

    Oh, have you seen those mournful doves, flying from pine to pine, 
                        F           C                                     G             C 
    a-mourning for their own true love just like I mourn for mine. 

          F                          C                F                    G          C

    I'll never go back on the ocean, love, I'll never go back on the sea, 
                         F                      C                                        G          C 
    I'll never go back from the blue-eyed girl, till she goes back on me. 

          F                          C                F                    G          C 
The storms are on the ocean, the heavens may cease to be,
