It was midnight on the stormy deep
My solitary watch I'd keep
And think of her I'd left behind
And ask if she'd be true and kind
I never shall forget the day
When I was forced to go away
In silence, there my head she'd rest
And pressed me to her loving breast
ย
Oh, Willy! Don't go back to sea
There's other girls as good as me
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 bride
But still my thoughts will sometimes stray
To thee when thou art far away
ย
I never have proved false to thee
The heart I gave was true as thine
But you have proven 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
