I was standing by the river
Where the cold black water runs

I was standing by the river
                           G
Where the cold black water runs

I had my good eye to the dark
                        G
And my blind eye to the sun

I had all of the riches
I had each and every one

I had my good eye to the dark
                        G
And my blind eye to the sun

Well I swore you were my darling
Yeah, you were the only one

Since I swore you were my darling

You were the only one

Had my good eye to the dark

And my blind eye to the sun
