Little brown eyes why do you keep crying

For my love is not worthy of you

When the sun goes to rest

I'll be heading back West

Little Brown eyes please don't feel so blue

When I say hello to the Rockies

I'll be bidding you fare adieu

When it's springtime on the prairies

Neath the Prairie skies so blue

My lonely heart keeps yearning

Though you say you love me true

When I say hello to the Rockies

I'll be saying farewell to you

Oh de lay oh goodbye to you

Oh I've made your heart sad little darling

Would be better if we had never met

But someday you'll find more true love than mine

Little Brown eyes please try and forget

When I say hello to the Rockies

I'll be bidding you fare adieu

When it's springtime on the prairies

Neath the Prairie skies so blue

My lonely heart keeps yearning

Though you say you love me true

When I say hello to the Rockies

I'll be saying farewell to you

Oh de lay oh, goodbye to you
