Version 1
"Little Darling Pal of Mine"
Written by Alvin Pleasant Carter
Originally recorded by The Carter Family in 1928
[Chorus]
F C
My little darling, oh, how I love you
G C
How I love you, none can tell
F C
In your heart you love another
G G7 C
Little darling pal of mine
Many a day with you I've rambled
G C
Happiest hours with you I've spent
F C
Thought I had your heart forever
G G7 C
Now I find it's only lent
[Chorus]
F C
Many a night while you lay sleeping
G C
Dreaming of your amber skies
F C
Was a poor girl broken-hearted
G G7 C
Listening to the winds that sigh
[Chorus]
F C
There are just three things that I wish for
G C
It's my casket, shroud and grave
F C
When I'm gone, don't weep for me
G G7 C
Just kiss those lips that you betrayed
