I'm going away for 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 its motion, love
If I prove false to thee
Now who will shoe your pretty little feet
And who will glove your hands?
And who will kiss your red rosy cheeks
Till I return again?
The storms are on the ocean
The heavens may cease to be
This world may lose its motion, love
If I prove false to thee
Now papa will shoe my pretty little feet
And mama will glove my hands
And you can kiss my red rosy cheeks
When you come back again
The storms are on the ocean
The heavens may cease to be
This world may lose its motion, love
If I prove false to thee
Oh see that lonesome turtle dove
As flies from pine to pine
He's moaning for his own true love
Just the way I moan for mine
The storms are on the ocean
The heavens may cease to be
This world may lose its motion, love
If I prove false to thee
I'll never go back on the ocean, love
I'll never go back on the sea
I'll never go back on my blue eyed girl
If she goes back on me
The storms are on the ocean
The heavens may cease to be
This world may lose its motion, love
If I prove false to thee
