Barney Rush
Of all the stars that ever shone
Not one does twinkle like your pale blue eyes
Like golden corn at harvest time your hair.
Sailing in my boat the wind gently blows and fills my sails.
Your sweet scented breath is everywhere.
Daylight peeping through the curtains of
The passing night time is your smile.
The sun in the sky is like your laugh.
Come back to me my Nancy linger for just a little while
Since you left these shores I know no peace nor joy.
Chorus:
No matter where I wander I'm still haunted by your name,
The portrait of your beauty stays the same.
Standing by the ocean, wondering where you've gone if you'll return again.
Where is the ring I gave to Nancy Spain?
On the day in spring when the snow
Starts to melt and streams to flow,
With the birds I'll sing to you a song,
In the while I'll wander down by bluebell grove,
Where wildflowers grow,
And hope my lovely Nancy will return.
Chorus
