Song | Midnight On The Stormy Deep |
Artist | Bill Monroe |
Album | Definitive Collection |
[00:08.760] | T'was midnight on the stormy deep |
[00:15.320] | My solitary watch I'd keep |
[00:21.630] | And think of her I'd left behind |
[00:25.510] | And ask if she'd be true and kind |
[00:34.100] | I never shall forget the day |
[00:40.240] | That I was forced to go away |
[00:43.430] | In silence there my head she'd rest |
[00:52.870] | And held me to her loving breast |
[01:26.800] | Oh Willy don't go back to sea |
[01:32.990] | There's other girls as good as me |
[01:39.250] | But none can love you true as I |
[01:45.680] | Pray don't go where the bullets fly |
[01:52.700] | The deep deep sea may us divide |
[01:58.100] | And I may be some other's bride |
[02:00.760] | But still my thoughts will oft times stray |
[02:11.900] | To be with thou so far away |
[02:44.380] | I never have proved false to thee |
[02:50.820] | The love I gave was true and kind |
[02:56.850] | But you have proved untrue to me |
[03:03.170] | I can no longer call thee mine |
[03:07.110] | So fare-thee-well I'd rather make |
[03:15.790] | My home upon some icy lake |
[03:23.250] | Where the southern sun refused to shine |
[03:26.500] | Then to trust a love so false as thine |
[00:08.760] | T' was midnight on the stormy deep |
[00:15.320] | My solitary watch I' d keep |
[00:21.630] | And think of her I' d left behind |
[00:25.510] | And ask if she' d be true and kind |
[00:34.100] | I never shall forget the day |
[00:40.240] | That I was forced to go away |
[00:43.430] | In silence there my head she' d rest |
