The Storms Are on the Ocean Songtext

von Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs

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
