Dark Eyed Molly - Fairport Convention

Deep and dark are my true love’s eyes

Blacker still is the winter’s turning

As the sadness of parting proves

And brighter now is the lantern burning

That lightens my path to love

No fiddle tune will take the air

But I will see his swift feet dancing

And the swirl of his dark brown hair

His smiling face and his dark eyes glancing

As we stepped out Blinkbonny Fair

And if my waiting prove in vain

Then I will pack and track ever take me

The long road will ease my pain

No jewel of mankind would ever make me

Whisper love’s words again

For in drink I’ll seek good company

My ears will ring with the tavern’s laughter

And I’ll hear not his last sweet sigh

And who’s to know in the morning after

How I long for his dear dark eyes

How I long for his dear dark eyes

How I long for his dear dark eyes
