The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm going away to leave you, love
I'm a-going away for a while
But I'll return to you some time
If I go 10,000 miles
The storms are on the ocean
The heaven may cease to be
This world may lose its motion, love
If I prove false to thee
Oh, who will dress your pretty little feet
Oh, who will glove your hand
And who will kiss your rosy red cheeks
When I'm in the far off land
The storms are on the ocean
The heaven may cease to be
This world may lose its motion, love
If I prove false to thee
Oh, papa will dress my pretty little feet
And mama will glove my hand
You can kiss my rosy red cheeks
When you return again
The storms are on the ocean
The heaven may cease to be
This world may lose its motion, love
If I prove false to thee
Oh, have you seen those mournful doves
Flying from pine to pine
A-mourning for their own true loves
Just like I mourn for mine
The storms are on the ocean
The heaven may cease to be
This world may lose its motion, love
If I prove false to thee
