About BILLY STRINGS:

Michigan-born and now Nashville-based, Billy Strings is a GRAMMY Award-winning singer, songwriter and musician, who arrived on the scene as “one of string music’s most dynamic young stars” (Rolling Stone). Strings is in the midst of a triumphant year after winning Best Bluegrass Album at the 63rd GRAMMY Awards for his critically acclaimed record, Home. Produced by Glenn Brown, the record also led Strings to top Billboard’s 2020 year-end charts in both Bluegrass categories—Top Bluegrass Artists and Top Bluegrass Albums—and continues to receive widespread critical acclaim. Of the release, The Associated Press proclaims, “it is his creative musical storytelling, paired with solid vocals on Home that should seal the deal, pleasing fans of the genre and creating some new ones…the perfect blend of pure talent and pluck,” while The Wall Street Journal declares, “Billy Strings has clearly emerged as a premier guitar flatpicker of this era.” Since his debut, Strings has been awarded Guitar Player of the Year and New Artist of the Year at the 2019 International Bluegrass Music Awards, selected as one of Rolling Stone’s “New Country Artists to Know” and performed on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” and PBS’ “Bluegrass Underground.” Known for his electric live shows, Strings will continue his extensive headline tour throughout 2021 including upcoming shows in Los Angeles, Seattle, Chicago, Denver, Austin, Atlanta and Nashville among several others.

"Midnight On The Stormy Deep" Lyrics

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

That I was forced to go away

In silence there my head she'd rest

And pressed 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 sometime times stray

To thee when thou art far away

I never have proved false to thee

The heart I gave was true as time

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
