Well, the big bell is tollin'

Trouble is heading north

Well, the big bell, it's tollin'

Trouble is heading north

Well, it's so my baby

And it let me here all alone

Well, my head is so heavy

When the sun starts sinkin' low

Well, my head ain't so heavy

When the sun starts sinkin' low

It put my soul on a wonder

Hoo, which way did my baby go?

Well, I heard a loud singing

Saw some slow marching

I heard a deep moaning

And, oh, that was my whole life

And these tears from my eyes

Keep on streamin' down

I keep crying for my baby

And I know she can't be found
