Don't This Road Look Rough and Rocky [core]

Darling, I have 4 come to 1 tell you
Though it almost breaks my 5 heart
But before the 4 morning 1 darling
5 We'll be many miles a 1 part

Chorus
4 Don't this road look rough and 1 rocky
Don't that sea look wide and 5 deep
1 Don't my baby 4 look the 1 sweetest
5 When she's in my arms a 1 sleep

Can't you hear the night birds crying
Far across the deep blue sea
While of others you are thinking
Won't you sometimes think of me

One more kiss before I leave you
One more kiss before we part
You have caused me lots of trouble
Darling you have broke my heart
