There's a little brown road windin' over the hill To a little white cot by the sea There's a little green gate At whose trellis I wait While two eyes o' blue Come smilin' through at me
There's a gray lock or two in the brown of the hair There's some silver in mine too, I see But in all the long years When the clouds brought their tears Those two eyes o' blue Kept smilin' through at me
And if ever I'm left in this world all alone I shall wait for my call patiently For if Heaven be kind I shall wait there to find Those two eyes o' blue Come smilin' through at me
