Of all the stars that ever shone
Not one would twinkle like your pale blue eyes
And like golden corn at harvest time your hair
Sailing in my boat gently blows and fills my sail
Your sweet scented breath is everywhere
And daylight peeping through the curtains
Of the passing night time is your smile
And the sun in the sky is like your laugh
Come back to me my nancy, linger for just a little while
Since you left these shores ive known no peace nor joy
Chorus
No matter where i wander im still haunted by your name
the portrait of your beauty stays the same
standing by the ocean wonderin where you've gone
If you'll return again,
where is the ring i gave to nancy spain
On a day in spring, when snow starts to melt, streams to flow
Away to the birds ill sing a song
In the while il wander down by bluebell grove
where wild flowers grow
and il hope that lovely nancy will return
Chorus
