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