Midnight On The Stormy Deep
Written and recorded by Bill Monroe

C                   G7     C
Was midnight on the stormy deep
                       C7
My solitary watch I ke-ep
                F            C
And to think of her I left behind
             G7                C
And asked if she'd be true and kind

              G7         C
I never shall forget the day
                           C7
When I was forced to go aw-ay
           F                   C
In silence there my head she'd rest
               G7            C
And pressed me to her loving breast

                G7         C
Oh Willie don't go back to sea
                                 C7
There's other girls as good as m-e
             F                C
But none can love you true as I
              G7                C
Pray don't go where the bullets fly

                  G7       C
The deep deep sea may us divide
                              C7
And I may be some other's bri-de
             F                       C
But still my thoughts will sometimes stray
             G7           C
To thee when thou art far away

             G7              C
I never have proved false to thee
                                 C7
The heart I gave was true as th-ine
             F                C
But you have proved untrue to me
         G7               C
I can no longer call thee mine

                    G7         C
Then fare thee well I'd rather make
                         C7
My home upon some icy la-ke
                   F             C
Where the southern sun refuse to shine
                G7               C
Than to trust a love so false as thine
