Notes about the KDM sheet music arrangement of  
“Storms are on the Ocean.”  
The KDM music project is showing the lyrics where a man and  
woman play and sing in tandem about their commitment to remain  
true to each other. It is played in G Major (both in the Low Octave G  
for the man and in mezzo G Major for the woman). The KDM music  
arrangement just sings the man’s part, but the music can  
accommodate the woman’s part if desired.  
I'm going away to leave you love.  
I'm going away for a while,  
But I'll return to see you  
sometime  
Oh, Have you seen those  
mournful doves  
A’ Flying from pine to pine?  
A-mournin' for their own true love  
Just like I mourn for mine.  
If I go ten thousand miles.  
Chorus  
Chorus  
The storms are on the ocean.  
The heavens may cease to be.  
This world may lose  
its motion love.  
If I prove false to thee.  
I'll never go back on the ocean  
love.  
I'll never go back on the sea.  
I'll never go back on my blue-  
eyed girl.  
'Til she goes back to me.  
Oh, who will dress your pretty  
little feet,  
Chorus  
And who will glove your hand?  
Oh, who will kiss your rosy red  
cheeks  
Oh, Never go back on the Ocean  
Love.  
When I'm in a foreign land?  
Oh, Never go back on the Sea.  
Oh, Never go back on this blue-  
eyed girl,  
Chorus  
I pray you’ll come home to me.  
Oh, Papa will dress my pretty little  
feet,  
Chorus  
And Mama will glove my hand,  
And, You may kiss my rosy red  
cheeks  
When you return home again.  
Chorus  
Some believe that the inspiration for this folk  
song came from a time when the Americans  
fought the British in the War of 1812.
