  My Blue-Eyed Boy: sung by Miss Willie Haigood of Purcell, OK, 1939; collected by W. Owens.

Go bring me back my blue-eyed boy,
Go bring him back to me,
Go bring me back the one I love,
Who means the world to me.

I don't know why I love him,
He never cared for me,
He ca n seek the whole wide world over,
He'll find no girl like me.

There's changes in the ocean
There's changes in the sea,
There's changes in the one I love
There'll be no change in me.

There's changes in the seasons
There's changes in the time,
There's changes in the poor boy's heart
There'll be no change in mine.
