I found a version at Cowpie I hadn't seen, and I figured I'd post the whole thing instead of just a link.

You might want to post this simple version to let people know how far back this song goes. A lot of young people I talk to think Willie wrote it and he's the only one they've heard sing it!
Roy Acuff recorded it 8-2-45 unissued, then again 1-28-47 Columbia 37822 and Columbia 20367. Hank Williams sung it on a Mother's Best Show in 1951.
Here is Acuff's version of 1947:
(E) In the twilight glow I see her,
(B7) Blue eyes cryin' in the (E) rain,
When we kissed goodbye and parted,
I (B7) knew we'd never meet a- (E)-gain. (E7)
Bridge #1:
(A) Love is like a dying ember,
(E) Only memories re-(B7)-main,
(E) Through the ages I'll remember,
(B7) Blue eyes cryin' in the (E) rain.
Instrumental break:
Bridge #2:
(A) Someday when we meet up yonder,
(E) We'll stroll hand in hand a-(B7)-gain,
(E) In a land that knows no parting,
(B7) Blue eyes cryin' in the (E) rain.

Willie Nelson version comin' right up.
