Lyrics

Darling, I have come to tell you Though it almost breaks my heart But before the morning darling We'll be many miles apart
Don't this road look rough and rocky Don't that sea look wide and deep Don't my baby look the sweetest When she's in my arms asleep
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 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
