Hair of Gold, Eyes of Blue Lyrics

I came down from Butte, Montana, for a little change of scene,
And I stopped to stay in Santa Fe, where I met a pretty queen.
Hair of gold, eyes of blue, lips like cherry wine
She's the prettiest gal I ever know and I'm gonna make her mine.

Now I planned to leave on Monday, but she held me kinda tight,
So I stood my ground and hung around, and then I left on Friday night.
Oh, hair of gold, eyes of blue, lips like cherry wine,
The prettiest gal I ever knew and I'm gonna make her mine.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Hair Of Gold Eyes Of Blue Lyrics

I came down from butte, montana,For a little change of scene, And I stopped to stay in santa fe,Where I met a pretty queen. Hair of gold, eyes of blue,Lips like cherry wine She’s the prettiest gal I ever know and I’m gonna make her mine. Now I planned to leave on monday,But she held me kinda tight, So I stood my ground and hung around,And then I left on friday night. Oh, hair of gold, eyes of blue,Lips like cherry wine, The prettiest gal I ever knew and I’m gonna make her mine.

From the 1940's I believe. Frank could sing about anything and people would listen:) He was the king of the romantic era in music. The rat pack crooners knew how to woo women:)
