Lyrics Bring Back My Blue-Eyed Boy to Me - The Carter Family

'Tis true, the ring that has no end.
It's hard to find a faithful friend,
And when you find one just and true
She's dropped 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.

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.

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.
