she'd
be true and kind
Its 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 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 th southern sun refuse to shine Than trust a love so false as thine
