Black eyes for sale

(Yo vendo unos ojos negros)

Argentine folk song
Tab by Luis BONVIN

This sweet song, of unknown author, became very popular in the northern provinces of Argentina, in the last half of the 19th century.

It's a very nice song. And it's easy enough.

Enjoy it!

There's also a downloadable midi file, to listen to, at the bottom of this page.
