B. "My Blue-Eyed Boy." Sung by Mrs. W. E. Jones, Pineville, Mo., Feb 14, 1928.
Must I go bound while he goes free,
Must I love him when he don't love me?
An' must I act a childish part
To love him when he broke my heart?
Go bring me back the one I love,
Go brink my darlin' back to me,
Go bring me back my blue-eyed boy,
An' I will ever happy be.
