The first boy

The first boy that I ever loved
had long black hair and big dark eyes
he was sweet and softly spoken
he wasn't like the other boys

The first boy that I ever loved
was seven years old when we first met
we parted when we were ten
and our paths never crossed again

We didn't kiss or hold hands
though I slept over in his room
his mother was Italian
and his father mended shoes

Later on I fell in love
with many girls and no more boys
but the girls I liked best
had long black hair
and the girls I liked best
had big dark eyes

- from the Union Daughter songbook outbreak c.2009
