Could been better for us both had we never
In this wide and wicked world had never met
For the pleasures we both seemed together
I am sure love I'll never forget

Oh I'm thinking tonight of my blues eyes
Who is sailing all over the sea
Yes I'm thinking tonight of her only
And I wonder if she ever thinks of me

[ fiddle ]
Oh you told me once dear that you love me
And you said that we never would part
But a linking the chain has been broken
Leaving me with a sad and aching heart

Oh I'm thinking tonight of my blues eyes...

[ banjo ]
When those cold cold shadows fall around me
Would you come dear and shed just one tear
And say to the friends around you
Your heart you have broken last year

Yes I'm thinking tonight of my blues eyes...

[ guitar ]
Oh I'm thinking tonight of my blues eyes...
