Lyrics The Storms Are on the Ocean - Flatt, Scruggs

The Storms Are on the Ocean

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
