Midnight On The Stormy Deep — текст песни (Bill Monroe)

T`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
That I was forced to go away
In silence there my head she`d rest
And held me to her loving breast

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 oft times stray
To be with thou so far away

I never have proved false to thee
The love I gave was true and kind
But you have proved untrue to me
I can no longer call thee mine

So 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
