Appalachian Eyes

Carlene Carter

Compositor: Carlene Carter / John McFee

Morning fell
Like the hair round her sure was soft and shinin'
And the valley was green
As the eyes of the man who could not hold her
She was the reason
Many heart beat blue, blue, blue
Chorus
Oh your blue, blue, blue Appalachian eyes
Oh your blue, blue, blue Appalachian eyes
I saw her runnin' scared like the look on her face
She lost her shoe
Never turned to look back
I could not help her
She was the reason
Many heart beat blue, blue, blue
Repeat Chorus
Sure as a "bullet"
She lost her love slipping silently over Clinch Mountain
Repeat Chorus Several Times
