dark eyed molly

Lyrics

deep and dark are my true love's eyes, blacker still is the winter turning, as the sadness of parting proves, and brighter now is the lantern burning, that lightens my path to her, no fiddle tune will take the air, but i'll see her swift feet a-dancing, and the swirl of her long brown hair, her smiling face and her dark eyes glancing, as we stepped up from banbury fair, 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 mankind will 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 her last sweet sigh, and who's to know in the morning after, how i long for her dear dark eyes, and i long for her dear dark eyes, how i long for her dear dark eyes
