John Raham - drums
Keith Lowe – double bass
Steve Dawson – pedal steel, percussion
Chris Gestrin – organ
Joey Wright - mandolin
Ben Rogalsky – harmony
Kim Beggs – guitar, vocal
Woulda been better for us had we never
In this wide, wicked world ever met.
For the pleasures we've both seen together,
I am sure love I'll never forget.
Oh, I'm thinking tonight of my blue eyes
Who is sailing far over the sea
Oh, I'm thinking tonight of him only
And I wonder if he ever thinks of me
You told me once, dear, that you loved me
And you said that we never would part
But a link in the chain has been broken
Leavin me with a sad and aching heart
Oh, I'm thinking tonight of my blue eyes
Who is sailing far over the sea
Oh, I'm thinking tonight of him only
And I wonder if he ever thinks of me
When the cold, cold grave shall enclose me
Will you come there and shed just one tear
And say to the strangers around you
A poor heart you have broken lies here
Oh, I'm thinking tonight of my blue eyes
Who is sailing far over the sea
Oh, I'm thinking tonight of him only
And I wonder if he ever thinks of me
