Intro: GGC
Deep and dark are my true love's eyes,
DG
Blacker still is the winter's turning,
GCDG
As the sadness of parting proves
GCDG
And brighter now is the lantern burning
GCDG
That lightens my path to love
GC
No fiddle tune will take the air,
DG
But I will see his swift feet dancing
GCDG
And the swirl of his dark brown hair,
GCDG
His smiling face and his dark eyes glancing
GCDG
As we stepped out Blinkbonny Fair
GC
And if my waiting prove in vain,
DG
Then I will pack and track ever take me
GCDG
The long road will ease my pain
GCDG
No jewel of mankind would ever make me
GCDG
Whisper love's words again
For in drink I'll seek good company,
My ears will ring with the tavern's laughter,
And I'll hear not his last sweet sigh
And who's to know in the morning after
GCDG
How I long for his dear dark eyes
GCDG
How I long for his dear dark eyes
GCDG
How I long for his dear dark eyes
