C majorC
Verse:
C majorC
Deep and dark are my true love's eyes
FF G+G C majorC
Blacker still is the winter turning
FF G+G C majorC
As the sadness of parting proves
FF G+G C majorC
And brighter now is the lantern burning
FF G+G C majorC
That lightens my path to love
Verse:
C majorC
No fiddle tune will take the air
FF G+G C majorC
But I'll see her swift feet a-dancing
FF G+G C majorC
And the swirl of her long brown hair
FF G+G C majorC
Her smiling face and her dark eyes glancing
FF G+G C majorC
As we stepped out Blinkbonny Fair
Verse:
C majorC
And if my waiting prove in vain
FF G+G C majorC
Then I will pack and track ever take me
FF G+G C majorC
And the long road will ease my pain
FF G+G C majorC
No gem of womankind will make me
FF G+G C majorC
E'er whisper love's words again
Verse:
C majorC
For in drink I'll seek good company
FF G+G C majorC
My ears will ring with the tavern's laughter
FF G+G C majorC
And I'll hear not her last sweet sighs
FF G+G C majorC
Then who's to know, in the morning after
FF G+G C majorC
That I long for her dear dark eyes
