Dark Eyed Molly

[Verse]
C
Deep and dark are my true love's eyes
        F            G      C
Blacker still is the winter turning
                  F   G   C
As the sadness of parting proves
             F          G       C
And brighter now is the lantern burning
                 F    G  C
That lightens my path to love

[Verse]
C
No fiddle tune will take the air
         F             G      C
But I'll see her swift feet a-dancing
                     F    G     C
And the swirl of her long brown hair
            F            G         C
Her smiling face and her dark eyes glancing
                       F  G  C
As we stepped out Blinkbonny Fair

[Verse]
C
And if my waiting prove in vain
            F              G    C
Then I will pack and track ever take me
                       F    G  C
And the long road will ease my pain
          F    G         C
No gem of womankind will make me
                    F     G C
E'er whisper love's words again

[Verse]
C
For in drink I'll seek good company
             F             G        C
My ears will ring with the tavern's laughter
                      F    G     C
And I'll hear not her last sweet sighs
              F            G       C
Then who's to know, in the morning after
                    F    G    C
That I long for her dear dark eyes
