Storms Are On The Ocean Lyrics - Ralph Stanley

I'm goin' away to leave you, love 

I'm goin' away for a while 

I'll come back 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
