Morning fell 

Like the hair round her sure was soft and shinin' 

And the valley was green 

As the eyes of the man who could not hold her 

She was the reason 

Many heart beat blue, blue, blue 



Chorus 

Oh your blue, blue, blue Appalachian eyes 

Oh your blue, blue, blue Appalachian eyes 



I saw her runnin' scared like the look on her face 

She lost her shoe 

Never turned to look back 

I could not help her 

She was the reason 

Many heart beat blue, blue, blue 



Repeat Chorus 



Sure as a "bullet" 

She lost her love slipping silently over Clinch Mountain 



Repeat Chorus Several Times
