Intro: G5

G5                               C5
Deep and dark are my true love's eyes,
                      D5         G5
Blacker still is the winter's turning,
G5                C5     D5    G5
As the sadness of parting proves
G5              C5            D5       G5 
And brighter now is the lantern burning
G5                    C5   D5  G5
That lightens my path to love


G5                          C5
No fiddle tune will take the air,
                          D5      G5
But I will see his swift feet dancing
 G5                     C5    D5      G5
And the swirl of his dark brown hair,
G5          C5               D5             G5      
His smiling face and his dark eyes glancing
G5               C5      D5       G5
As we stepped out Blinkbonny Fair


G5                      C5
And if my waiting prove in vain,
                            D5   G5     
Then I will pack and track ever take me
G5                C5       D5   G5
The long road will ease my pain
G5             C5            D5        G5
No jewel of mankind would ever make me
G5               C5   D5   G5
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
G5                  C5     D5    G5   
How I long for his dear dark eyes
G5                  C5     D5    G5   
How I long for his dear dark eyes
G5                  C5     D5    G5   
How I long for his dear dark eyes
