Midnight on the Stormy Deep✓

Was midnight on the stormy deep

My solitary watch I ke-ep

And to think of her I left behind

And asked if she'd be true and kind

I never shall forget the day

When I was forced to go aw-ay

In silence there my head she'd rest

And pressed me to her loving breast

Oh Willie don't go back to sea

There's other girls as good as m-e

But none can love you true as I

Pray don't go where the bullets fly

The deep deep sea may us divide

And I may be some other's bri-de

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 was true as th-ine

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 la-ke

Where the southern sun refuse to shine

Than to trust a love so false as thine
