Dark Eyed Molly (Acoustic)

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