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 rambler's life
Was a poor boy brokenhearted
Listening to the wind 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

Many a day with you I've rambled
Countless hours with you I've spent
Thought I had your heart forever
But I find it 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

There is just three things I wish for
That's a casket, shroud, and grave
When I'm dead, 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
