Dolly and Hawkeye
F FShe'll be thirty two in FJuly Fand she's only known one Gman
FA blue-eyed talker name of FHawkeye, Fsometimes he sold pots and Gpans
FHe came to her house late one Fsummer Fwhen she was ripe and twenty Gtwo
FHe stayed awhile with her that Fsummer Fand if he left we never Gknew
Chorus:
And he Fcalled her FDolly, and he Fcalled her FDolly
And he Fcalled...., called her FDolly
She hasn't spoken since that summer, her hair has turned a silver grey
Her eyes turned yellow like the roses she weeds and waters everyday
And people come to buy the roses but sell them one she will not do
She sits there in her six foot garden and counts the roses two-by-two
Chorus
One day a man came by to see her, he said he was Hawkeye's best friend
He wondered had she'd seen old Hawkeye her yellows eyes smiled up at him
She turned and walked down to her garden and picked two roses of her choice
And when she gave em to the stranger he thought he heard old Hawkeye's voice
Chorus
