[E]
[B]
Was midnight on the stormy day, My solitary watch I keep,
And think [A] of her left [E] behind, And I ask [B] if she'd be true [E] at last.
I never shall
[B] forget [E] the day, That I was forced to go away,
In [A] silence, by my head [E] she'd rest, And press [Bm] me [B] to her [E] loving breast.
[A]
[E]
[B]
[E]
Willie don't [B] go back to sea, [E] There's other girls as good as me,
[F#] But none [A] can fly [E] true as I, Pray don't [B] go where the [E] bullets fly.
A deep, deep sea [B] may us [E] divide, And I may be some other's bride,
[E] [G#] But still [A] my thoughts will [E] sometimes go, To thee [B] when my heart's far [E] away.
[A]
[E]
[B]
[E]
I never have proof false to think, The heart I gave was true as time,
But [A] that's true to [E]
me, I can [B] no longer call [Em] thee [B] mine,
Then fare thee well, I'd rather [E] lay, [A] My home [E] alone to my sea lady.
While others [A] sigh, If you're too [E] shy, Then to trust [B] a love, So [E] false and bad.
[N]
