Chorus:
Reel 273, Item 13
My Blue Eyes
Oh, I'm thinking tonight of my blue eyes,
Who is sailing far over the sea;
Oh, I'm thinking tonight of my blue eyes,
And I wonder if he ever thinks of me.
Oh, you told me once, dear, that you loved me, And you said that we never would part.
But a link in the chain has been broken, Leaving one with a sad and aching heart.
(Chorus)
When the cold, cold grave shall enclose me, Won't you come and shed just one tear?
Will you say to the people around you,
A heart you have broken lies here?
(Chorus)
