DARK EYED MOLLY

Tuning: DADGAD

D
Deep and dark are my true love's eyes.
         G                  D
Blacker still is the Winter turning
                  G  A    D
As the sadness of parting grows,
             G                    D
And brighter still is the lantern burning
                 G   A  D
That lightens my way to love.


No fiddle tune shall light the air,
But I'll see her feet a -dancing
And the curl in her long dark hair.
Her dancing feet, and her dark eyes glancing
As we stepped out blink-bonny fair.


But if my wanting prove in vain
I will pack, and track ever take me,
And the long road will ease my pain.
No gem of Womankind shall make me
E'er whisper love's words again.


For in drink I'll seek the company:
My ears will ring with the Tavern's laughter,
And I'll hear not her last sweet sighs,
And who's to know, in the morning after,
If I'll long for her dear dark eyes,

And who's to know, in the morning after,
If I'll long for her dear dark eyes.
