'Twould been better for us both had we never |
|
In this wide and wicked world had never met, |
|
For the pleasure we've both seen together |
|
I'm sure, love, |
|
I'll never forget. |
|
Oh, I'm thinking tonight of my blue eyes |
|
Who is sailing far over the sea. |
|
I'm thinking tonight of my blue eyes |
|
And I wonder if he ever thinks of me. |
|
Oh, you told me once, dear, that you loved me; |
|
You said that that we never would part. |
|
But a link in the chain has been broken |
|
Leaves me with a sad and aching heart. |
|
When the cold, cold grave shall enclose me |
|
Will you come dear and shed just one tear |
|
And say to the strangers around you |
|
A poor heart you have broken lies here |
