Take away the oceans
take away the seas
take away the sunshine
take away the trees

Take away the rosebuds
that bloom in spring
take all the blossoms
all I asking is one thing

Please leave my baby
please leave her for me

I don't care for the oceans
I don't care for the seas
I can do without blue skies
or flowering trees

But I can't do without my baby
so please leave her for me

Nature has beauty, nature has its place
but when I look into my baby's face
I lose all sense of judgement, I lose my regard
to think only of nature somehow seems so hard

So take away your oceans
take away your seas
take away your rosebuds
all I asking is one thing

Please leave my baby
please leave her for me
