The Storms Are On the Ocean

I'm going away for to leave you, love
I'm going away for awhile.
But I'll return to you some time
If I go ten thousand miles.

(Chorus)
The storms are on the ocean
And the heavens may cease to be.
This world may lose its motion, love
If I prove false to thee.

Oh, see that lonesome turtledove
That flies from pine to pine.
He's a-mourning for his own true love
Just the way I mourn for mine.

(Chorus)

I'll never go back on the ocean, love
I'll never go back on the sea
I'll never go back on my blue-eyed gal
If she goes back on me.

(Chorus)
