Lyrics
1. Down in my heart, down in my soul
Down where my love begins
And ne’er grows old
I have a love, pure as a dove
For my blue-eyed Sue
In all this world there is no girl
Like my lady true
Every night in the soft twilight
I greet her with this serenade
CHORUS
My blue-eyed Sue, for e’er we’ll woo
As days they fleet, our hearts shall beat
In silent bliss, I’ll whisper this
I’ll e’er be true my blue-eyed Sue
2. Down in a glade, down by a brook
Down where the bluebirds sing
We’ll have a nook
I’ll live for e’er, no thought of care
With my blue-eyed Sue
No radiant light can dim the sight
Of her eyes so blue
As we spoon by the light of the moon
I sing to her this serenade
