Blue Eyed Boy

Cat. #0905 (MFH #80) - As sung by Ollie Gilbert, Mountain View, Arkansas on September 16, 1969

VERSE 1
Hit'd been better for us both had we never
In this wide wicked world had'a met
For th pleasure we've taken together
I am sure love I'll never forget

VERSE 2
O, you told me once dear, that you love me
An' you said, that we never would part
But a link in th chain has been broken
Leav'in me with a sad and ach'in heart

VERSE 3
O, I'm thinkin' t'night of my blue eyes
Who is sailin' far over th sea
O, I'm thinkin' tonight of him only
An' I wonder if he ever thinks of me

VERSE 4
When th cold, cold gave has surrounded me
Won't you come love an' shed just one tear
An' say to th strangers around you
A poor heart you have broken, lies here

VERSE 5
O, I'm thinkin' tonight of my blue eyes
Who is sailin' far over th sea
O, I'm thinkin' tonight of him only
An' I wonder if he ever thinks of me
