Rough and Rocky

Emmylou Harris · Songbird: Rare Tracks And Forgotten Gems [2007]

(Charles Justice - Shoji Tabuchi)



Darlin', I have come to tell you though it almost breaks my heart

But before the morning darlin', we'll be many miles apart

Don't that road look rough and rocky, don't that sea look wide and deep

Don't my baby look the sweetest when he's in my arms asleep.



Can't you hear the nightbird's crying far across the deep blue sea

While the others you are thinking won't you sometimes think of me

Don't that road look rough and rocky, don't that sea look wide and deep

Don't my baby look the sweetest when he's in my arms asleep.



--- Instrumental ---



One more kiss before I leave you, one more kiss before we part

You have caused me lots of trouble darlin', you have broke my heart

Don't that road look rough and rocky, don't that sea look wide and deep

Don't my baby look the sweetest when he's in my arms asleep...
