Little brown eyes why do you keep crying
For my love is not worthy of you
When the sun goes to rest
I'll be heading back West
Little Brown eyes please don't feel so blue
When I say hello to the Rockies
I'll be bidding you fare adieu
When it's springtime on the prairies
Neath the Prairie skies so blue
My lonely heart keeps yearning
Though you say you love me true
When I say hello to the Rockies
I'll be saying farewell to you
Oh de lay oh  goodbye to you
Oh I've made your heart sad little darling
Would be better if we had never met
But someday you'll find more true love than mine
Little Brown eyes please try and forget
When I say hello to the Rockies
I'll be bidding you fare adieu
When it's springtime on the prairies
Neath the Prairie skies so blue
My lonely heart keeps yearning
Though you say you love me true
When I say hello to the Rockies
I'll be saying farewell to you
Oh de lay oh,  goodbye to you
