Written by A.P. Carter
C F C G C I'm going away to leave you, love, I'm going away for awhile, F C G C but I'll return to you some time, if I go ten thousand miles. F C F G C The storms are on the ocean, the heavens may cease to be, F C G C this world may lose its motion, love, if I prove false to thee. C F C G C Oh, who will dress your pretty little feet, oh, who will glove your hand. F C G C Oh, who will kiss your rosy red cheek, when I'm in a far off land? F C F G C The storms are on the ocean, the heavens may cease to be, F C G C this world may lose its motion, love, if I prove false to thee. C F C G C 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. F C F G C The storms are on the ocean, the heavens may cease to be, F C G C this world may lose its motion, love, if I prove false to thee. C F C G C 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 The storms are on the ocean, the heavens may cease to be, F C G C this world may lose its motion, love, if I prove false to thee. C F C 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, F C G C this world may lose its motion, love, if I prove false to thee.
