The night was black, rain fallin' down; 
Looked for my baby, she's nowhere around. 
Traced her footsteps down to the shore, 
'Fraid she's gone forever more. 
I looked at the sea and it seemed to say, 
"I took your baby from you away." 
I heard a voice cryin' in the deep, 
 [bad word] 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. 
I looked at the sea and it seemed to say, 
"I took your baby from you away." 
I heard a voice cryin' in the deep, 
 [bad word] join me baby in my Endless Sleep." 

Ran in the water, heart full of fear, 
There in the breakers I saw her near; 
Reached for my darlin', held her to me, 
Stole her away from the angry sea. 
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 an Endless Sleep.
