Tis true the rainbow has no end It's hard to find a faithful friend And when you find one just and true Change not the old one for the new Bring back my blue-eyed boy to me Bring back my blue-eyed boy to me Bring back my blue-eyed boy to me That I may ever happy be Must I go bound and him go free Must I love a boy that don't love me Or must I act the childish part And love that boy that broke my heart Bring back my blue-eyed boy to me Bring back my blue-eyed boy to me Bring back my blue-eyed boy to me That I may ever happy be [Instrumental break] Last night my lover promised me To take me across the deep blue sea And now he's gone and left me alone An orphan girl without a home Bring back my blue-eyed boy to me Bring back my blue-eyed boy to me Bring back my blue-eyed boy to me That I may ever happy be Oh, dig my grave both wide and deep Place marble at my head and feet And on my breast a snow white dove To show to the world I died for love Bring back my blue-eyed boy to me Bring back my blue-eyed boy to me Bring back my blue-eyed boy to me That I may ever happy be [Instrumental break]
