Lyrics

Good Eye

Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho!

I was standing by the river where the cold black water runs
I was standing by the river where the cold black water runs
I had my good eye to the dark and my blind eye to the sun

I had all the earthly riches, I had each and every one
I had all the earthly riches, I had each and every one
But I had my good eye to the dark and my blind eye to the sun

Well I swore to you my darling, that you were the only one
Yes I swore to you my darling, you were the only one
I had my good eye to the dark and my blind eye to the sun

Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho!
