I'm goin' away to leave you, love I'm goin' 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 it's motion love If I prove false to thee Oh, who'll shoe your pretty little feet And who'll glove your hand And who'll kiss your rosy cheeks When I'm in a far off land The storms are on the ocean The heavens may cease to be This world may lose it's motion love If I prove false to thee Oh, have you seen those mournful doves Flying from pine to pine They're mourning for their own true love Just like I mourn for mine The storms are on the ocean The heavens may cease to be This world may lose it's motion love If I prove false to thee
