Intro: G
G C
Deep and dark are my true love's eyes,
D G
Blacker still is the winter's turning,
G C D G
As the sadness of parting proves
G C D G
And brighter now is the lantern burning
G C D G
That lightens my path to love
G C
No fiddle tune will take the air,
D G
But I will see his swift feet dancing
G C D G
And the swirl of his dark brown hair,
G C D G
His smiling face and his dark eyes glancing
G C D G
As we stepped out Blinkbonny Fair
G C
And if my waiting prove in vain,
D G
Then I will pack and track ever take me
G C D G
The long road will ease my pain
G C D G
No jewel of mankind would ever make me
G C D G
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
G C D G
How I long for his dear dark eyes
G C D G
How I long for his dear dark eyes
G C D G
How I long for his dear dark eyes
