Lyrics:

Would be better for us both had we never
In this wide and wicked world had never met
For the pleasures that we've seen together
Oh, I am sure, love, I'll never forget

Oh, I'm thinking tonight of my blue eyes
Who is sailing far over the sea
I'm thinking tonight of her only
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
Leaving me with the sad and aching heart

Oh, I'm thinking tonight of my blue eyes
Who is sailing far over the sea
Yes, I'm thinking tonight of her only
And I wonder if she ever thinks of me

When the cold, cold grave shall enclose me
Will you come here and shed just one tear?
And say to the strangers around you
A poor heart you have broken right here

Oh, I'm thinking tonight of my blue eyes
Who is sailing far over the sea
Yes, I'm thinking tonight of her only
And I wonder if she ever thinks of me
