Lyrics English

THE STORMS ARE ON THE OCEAN I'm going away to leave you, love I'm going away for awhile. But I'll return to you some time If I go ten thousand miles. The storms are on the ocean The heavens may cease to be. This world may lose its motion, love If I prove false to thee. Oh, who will dress your pretty little feet Oh, who will glove your hand Oh, who will kiss your rosy red cheek When I'm in a far off land? Oh, Poppa will dress my pretty little feet And Momma will glove my hand You can kiss my rosy red cheeks When you return again. Oh, have you seen those mournful doves Flying from pine to pine. A-mourning for their own true love Just like I mourn for mine. ((I'll never go back on the ocean, love I'll never go back on the sea I'll never go back from the blue-eyed girl Till she goes back on me.))
