John Prine / Mac Wiseman - Blue Eyed Elaine

from Standard Songs for Average People by John Prine

/

lyrics

Side by side we'll roll along, sweetheart you and I
And to you I'll sing this song as the years go passing by
I may be good or I may be bad but you never frown
I couldn't find a sweeter pal if I'd searched the whole world around

Blue eyed Elaine you're the sweetest thing and I love you so
And you'll always be the same no matter where we go We'll travel here we'll travel there and we'll never part You'll always be my blue eyed Elaine and I'll be your sweetheart

When skies are grey and things go wrong we'll never fret nor sigh
But we'll just keep traveling on with our heads held up high
And when I gaze into your eyes your heart and soul are plain
And you know the reason why I love you blue eyed Elaine

Blue eyed Elaine you're the sweetest thing and I love you so
And you'll always be the same no matter where we go We'll travel here we'll travel there and we'll never part You'll always be my blue eyed Elaine and I'll be your sweetheart
