If you'll stop a while and listen to my story
I'll tell you why my heart is sick and sore
I'll tell you how I lost my pretty blue eyes
Those dear blue eyes that I was living for
It's a weary weary world without my blue eyes
It'a a weary weary world without a home
They'll never be another dear sweet blue eyes
It's a weary weary world so all alone
I was happy oh so happy with my blue eyes
And our love was sweet and tender as a rose
Then we quarlled and I lost my pretty blue eyes
Where she's wandered to now Heaven only knows
* Refrain
All thats left now is a picture of my blue eyes
It's my only treasure as I journey on
Every night I say I'll find my sweet blue eyes
And each day I'll sing a sad and lonesome song
* Refrain
