Dark Eyed Molly

Deep and dark are my true love's eyes

Blacker still is the winter turning

As the sadness of parting proves

Brighter now is the lantern burning

That lightens my path to him

No fiddle tune will take the air

But I'll see his swift feet a-dancing

And the swirl of his dark brown hair

His smiling face and his dark eyes glancing

As we stepped up from Banbury Fair

Oh oh oh oh if my waiting prove in vain

Then I'll pack and track ever take me

And the long road will ease my pain

No jewelled man kind 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
