Lyrics
Was 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
When I was forced to go away
And when I said goodbye, she wept
And pressed me to her loving breast
Oh Willy, don't go back to sea
There's none that love you just like me
Oh yes, there's gold and silver high
Oh, don't go where the bullets fly
The deep, deep sea will 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 was true as time
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 refused to shine
Then to trust a love so false as thine
