Stan Rogers - Dark Eyed Molly lyrics

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 see her swift feet a - dancing And the swirl of her long black hair Her smiling face and her 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 And the long road will ease my pain No gem of woman kind will make me E'er 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 her last sweet sighs Then who's to know in the morning after That I long for her dear dark eyes
