[Verse 1]
Darling I have come to tell you
Though it almost breaks my heart
But before the morning, darling
We'll be many miles apart

[Chorus]
Don't that 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?

[Verse 2]
Can't you hear the night birds crying?
Far across the deep blue sea
While of others you are thinking
Won't you sometimes think of me?

[Chorus]
Don't that 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?

[Verse 3]
One more kiss before I leave you
One more kiss before we part
You have caused me lots of trouble
Darling, you have broke my heart
[Chorus]
Don't that 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?
