[Verse]
C
Deep and dark are my true love's eyes
F G C
Blacker still is the winter turning
F G C
As the sadness of parting proves
F G C
And brighter now is the lantern burning
F G C
That lightens my path to love
[Verse]
C
No fiddle tune will take the air
F G C
But I'll see her swift feet a-dancing
F G C
And the swirl of her long brown hair
F G C
Her smiling face and her dark eyes glancing
F G C
As we stepped out Blinkbonny Fair
[Verse]
C
And if my waiting prove in vain
F G C
Then I will pack and track ever take me
F G C
And the long road will ease my pain
F G C
No gem of womankind will make me
F G C
E'er whisper love's words again
[Verse]
C
For in drink I'll seek good company
F G C
My ears will ring with the tavern's laughter
F G C
And I'll hear not her last sweet sighs
F G C
Then who's to know, in the morning after
F G C
That I long for her dear dark eyes
