I'm going away to faraway lands
Yeah I'm going away for awhile
I'll return to you my love
Oh I'll go ten thousand miles
The sun will dry the ocean
Heaven will cease to be
The world will lose it's motion my love
If I prove false to thee
Who's gonna shoe your pretty little feet
Who's gonna glove your hand
Who's gonna kiss your sweet ruby lips
While I'm in a faraway land
Father will shoe my pretty little feet
Brother will glove my hand
And you can kiss my sweet ruby lips when you return again
The sun will dry the ocean
Heaven will cease to be
The world will lose it's motion my love
If I prove false to thee
Who's gonna brush your long yellow hair
Who's gonna pay your fees
Whos gonna father those sweet little babes while im on the rageing sea
Mother will brush my long yellow hair
Daddy has payed my fees
There won't be any sweet little babies while your away from me
The sun will dry the ocean
Heaven will cease to be
The world will lose it's motion my love
If I prove false to thee
(If I prove false)
Night wind tell my sailor man I'll be waiting in the day
I long to feel his warm em-brace
In this cold and hardy year
The sun will dry the ocean
Heaven will cease to be
The world will lose it's motion my love
If I prove false to thee
The sun will dry the ocean
Heaven will cease to be
The world will lose it's motion my love
If I prove false to thee
If I prove false to thee
