Lyrics The Carter Family

The Carter Family

Little Darling Pal Of Mine

In the night, while you lay sleeping

Dreaming of your amber skies

Was a poor boy 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

Many a day, with you I've rambled

Happiest hours, with you I've spent

For I had your heart forever

But I find it's only lent

There is just three things I wish for

That's my casket, shroud and grave

When I'm dead, don't weep for me

Just like those lips that you betrayed
