Song Lyrics

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

[Chorus:]

Sure as a "bullet"
She lost her love slipping silently over Clinch Mountain

[Chorus:Repeat]

Carlene Carter, John Mc Fee
