My little darling, oh, how I love you
How I love you, none can tell
In your heart you love another
Little darling pal of mine

Many a day with you I’ve rambled
Happiest hours with you I’ve spent
Thought I had your heart forever
Now I find it’s only lent

My little darling, oh, how I love you
How I love you, none can tell
In your heart you love another
Little darling pal of mine

Many a night while you lay sleeping
Dreaming of your amber skies
Was a poor girl broken-hearted
Listening to the winds that sigh

My little darling, oh, how I love you
How I love you, none can tell
In your heart you love another
Little darling pal of mine

Just three things that I wish for
It’s my casket, shroud and grave
When I’m gone, don’t weep for me
Just kiss those lips that you betrayed

My little darling, oh, how I love you
How I love you, none can tell
In your heart you love another
Little darling pal of mine
