[00:03.12]Artist:bill monroe [00:05.87]Songs Title:midnight on the stormy deep [00:08.76]T'was midnight on the stormy deep [00:15.32]My solitary watch I'd keep [00:21.63]And think of her I'd left behind [00:25.51]And ask if she'd be true and kind [00:34.01]I never shall forget the day [00:40.24]That I was forced to go away [00:43.43]In silence there my head she'd rest [00:52.87]And held me to her loving breast [01:26.80]Oh Willy don't go back to sea [01:32.99]There's other girls as good as me [01:39.25]But none can love you true as I [01:45.68]Pray don't go where the bullets fly [01:52.07]The deep deep sea may us divide [01:58.10]And I may be some other's bride [02:00.76]But still my thoughts will oft times stray [02:11.01]To be with thou so far away [02:44.38]I never have proved false to thee [02:50.82]The love I gave was true and kind [02:56.85]But you have proved untrue to me [03:03.17]I can no longer call thee mine [03:07.11]So fare-thee-well I'd rather make [03:15.79]My home upon some icy lake [03:23.25]Where the southern sun refused to shine [03:26.50]Then to trust a love so false as thine
