Buoyed up with the success of other recent requests here's another jigsaw puzzle.
Sung to Sharp by Lucy Carter of Tintinhull, Somerset, in 1906.

Very garbled and more likely than not a hotchpotch from different songs

The first 2 lines occur in a number of similar songs and the diamonds may be a passing ref to 'Come write me down/Powers above' Any suggestions welcome.

His eyes were black, were black as any sloes,
His cheeks were like, were like the blooming roses,
His voice did sound as clearly as the violets in bloom,
We got diamonds in each other's eye.

And now I'll go across the raging sea,
And see a man the comforts I could find,
The comforts did not please me and the voice I did not love,
When they sunk down in yonder green groves.
