[Intro]
x3
[Verse]
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
[Verse]
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
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
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
[Verse]
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
[Outro]
