I'm Thinking Tonight Of My Blue Eyes Lyrics - Ralph Stanley

Would've been better for us both had we never 

In this wide wicked world had never met 

For the pleasure we've both known together 

I'm sure, love, I'll never forget 

Oh, I'm thinking tonight of my blue eyes 

Who is sailing far over the sea 

Oh, I'm thinking tonight of my blue eyes 

And I wonder if she ever thinks of me 

Oh, you told me once, dear, that you loved me 

And you said that we never would part 

But a link in the chain has been broken 

Leavin me with a sad and aching heart 

Oh, I'm thinking tonight of my blue eyes 

Who is sailing far over the sea 

Oh, I'm thinking tonight of my blue eyes 

And I wonder if she ever thinks of me 

When the cold, cold grave shall enclose me 

Will you come there and shed just one tear 

And say to the strangers around you 

A poor heart you have broken lies here 

Oh, I'm thinking tonight of my blue eyes 

Who is sailing far over the sea 

Oh, I'm thinking tonight of my blue eyes 

And I wonder if she ever thinks of me
