Appalachian Eyes

Carlene Carter


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
