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 of the riches

I had each and every one

I had all of the riches

I had each and every one

I had my good eye to the dark

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
