[Verse]
F C F
Deep and dark are my true love's eyes
Bb C F
Blacker still is the winter turning
Bb C F
As the sadness of parting proves
Bb C F
And brighter now is the lantern burning
Bb C F
That lightens my path to her
[Verse]
C F C F
No fiddle tune will take the air
Bb C F
But I'll see her swift feet a-dancing
Bb C F
And the swirl of her long brown hair
Bb C F
Her smiling face and her dark eyes glancing
Bb C Dm
As we stepped up from Banbury Fair
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
F C F
If my waiting prove in vain
Bb C F
Then I'll pack and track ever take me
Bb C F
And the long road will ease my pain
Bb C F Bb F
No jewelled mankind will ever make me
Bb C F
Whisper love's words again
[Verse]
C F C F
For in drink I'll seek good company
Bb C F
My ears will ring with the tavern's laughter
Bb C F
And I'll hear not her last sweet sigh
Bb C F
And who's to know in the morning after
Bb C F C F
How I long for her dear dark eyes
Bb C F C F
And I long for her dear dark eyes
Bb C F C
How I long for her dear dark eyes
