The moon was shining last night
You're many miles from my side
As the train rolls on I'm thinkin' of home
And my little darlin' brown eyes

My little darlin' don't cry
You're little darlin' brown eyes
You're mine you're mine to love all the time
You're my little darlin' brown eyes

The train was on the fly
I watched the stars in the sky
The break of dawn and the hills of home
You're my little darlin' brown eyes

I've come back darlin' brown eyes
I've come back darlin' don't cry
Back to stay, never to stray
You're my little darlin' brown eyes

* Refrain
