Black-Eyed Girl

This is a video of the original, just so you can have it in your head.

Hey where did you go,

Back from the Mittons

Down in the Riverbottoms,

Ridin’ a new bike

Laughing and a biking hey, hey

Without a helmet.

In the Emergency Room with

Our hearts a thumpin’ and you

My black eyed girl,

You my black eyed girl.

You were just biking

On Wednesday and so fast

Going down Univsersity

With dozens of cars moving past.

Standing in the intersection laughing,

Impervious to all traffic,

Slipping and sliding [not sloppy though]

Into that curb, it’s you

My black eyed girl,

You my black eyed girl.

Do you remember what your name is?

Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da

So hard to find your way,

When you have no idea who you are.

I saw you just the other day,

My how your face has grown,

Cast your memory back there, Lug

Try to remember who you are

I’m not in Hawaii,

I’m in the hospital with you

My black eyed girl

You my black eyed girl

Do you remember anything about your past?

Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da.
