Dolly Parton(esque) cover of The Carter Family's
I'm Thinking Tonight of My Blue Eyes
C F
Would be better for us both had we never
G7 C
In this wide wicked world have ever met
C F
For the pain and the pleasures he's brought me
G7 C
I am sure I will never forget
(chorus)
C F
Oh, I'm thinking tonight of my blue eyes
G7 C
Who is sailing far over the sea
F
And I'm thinking tonight of him only
G7 C
And I wonder does he ever think of me
(2nd verse)
Oh, you told me once, dear, that you loved me
And you swore that we never would part
But a link in the chain has been broken
Leaving me with a sad broken heart
(repeat chorus)
Additional verse by original Carter Family version:
(3rd verse)
When the cold, cold grave shall enclose me
Will you come there and shed just a tear
And say to the strangers around you
The poor heart you have broken lies here
(repeat chorus)
