Lyrics

It's midnight on the stormy deep
My solitary watch I keep
And think of her I left behind
And ask if she'd be true and kind
I never shall forget the day
That I was forced to go away
In silence there my head she drew
And pressed me to her loving breast
Oh, Willie, don't go back to sea
There's other girls as good as me
But none can love you true as I
Please don't go where the billies fly
The deep, deep sea may us divide
And I may be some other's bride
But still my thoughts will sometimes stray
To thee when thou art far away
I never have proved false to thee
The heart I gave is true as thou
But you have proved untrue to me
I can no longer call thee mine
Then fare thee well, I'd rather make
My home upon some icy lake
Where the southern sun refuse to shine
Than to trust a love so false as thine
Written by: Bill Monroe, DP, Doc Watson, Ernest Stoneman, Wilhelm Hauff
