Bring Back My Blues-Eyed Boy to Me - The Carter Family

Tis true the rain that has no end

It’s hard to find a faithful friend

And when you find one just and true

He’s dropped the old one for the new

Bring back my blue eyed boy to me

Bring back my blue eyed boy to me

Bring back my blue eyed boy to me

That I may ever happy be

Must I go bound and have no free

Must I love a boy that don’t love me

Or must I act the childish part

And love that boy that broke my heart

Last night my lover promised me

To take me across the deep blue sea

And now he’s gone and left me alone

An orphan girl without a home

O dig my grave both wide and deep

Place marble at my head and feet

And on my breast a snow white dove

To show to the world I died for love
