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
