'Twould been better for us both had we never In this wide and wicked world had never met, But the pleasure we both seemed to gather I'm 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 my blue eyes And I wonder if he ever thinks of me
Oh, you told me once, dear, that you loved me; You vowed that we never would part But a link in the chain has been broken Leaving me with a sad and aching heart
When the cold, cold grave shall enclose me Will you come near and shed just one tear? Will you say to the strangers around you A poor heart you have broken lies here?
