There's a little brown road windin' over the hill 
To a little white cot by the sea 
There's a little green gate 
At whose trellis I wait 
While two eyes o' blue 
Come smilin' through at me 

There's a gray lock or two in the brown of the hair 
There's some silver in mine too, I see 
But in all the long years 
When the clouds brought their tears 
Those two eyes o' blue 
Kept smilin' through at me 

And if ever I'm left in this world all alone 
I shall wait for my call patiently 
For if Heaven be kind 
I shall wait there to find 
Those two eyes o' blue 
Come smilin' through at me
