One I'd boo, the other pray
Marching by, I heard him say
I looked far for so long, I can't find my way
Back to my sad lover's heart

I took my lover
Down to the river
I drew my silver dagger
Straight through my true lover's heart
Straight in my true lover's heart

One eye blue, the other gray
Staring down, I heard you say
I looked far for so long, I can't find my way
Back to my sad lover's arms
Back to my sad lover's arms
