Bill McAuley Black Eyed Girl lyrics

Black-eyed girl I love you so
I saw you walking to and fro.
My heart started beating slow
By the beautiful sea.

And we walked along the golden sand,
You let me hold your little hand,
I fell in love and it was grand,
Walkin' by the beautiful sea.

Ooh I said I loved you ‘neath that red volcanic sky.
You said give me some money before we say goodbye,
I thought that we were friends I couldn't understand,
I wanted some lovin' you wanted money in your hand.
Aah Black eyed girl come home with me
And you can meet my family.
But I bet you'd rather be,
Walkin' by the beautiful sea.

Ooh I said I loved you ‘neath that red volcanic sky.
You said give me some money before we say goodbye,
I thought that we were friends I couldn't understand,
I wanted some lovin' you wanted money in your hand.
Aah Black eyed girl come home with me
And you can meet my family.
But I bet you'd rather be,
Walkin' by the beautiful sea.

But I bet you'd rather be, oh oh oh
Walkin' by the beautiful sea.
