Cat. #1002 (MFH #236) - As sung by Ollie Gilbert, Mountain View, Arkansas on October 7, 1969
VERSE 1
Goodbye, little darling, I must leave you
Long from you I must be gone
But remember, little darling
Back to you again I'll come
VERSE 2
Who will love you, little darling
Who will fold you to their breast
Who will tell you of th future
While I roam th distant west
VERSE 3
I've gathered flowers from th hillside
Make a wreath around your brow
But long you've kept me waiting
They are dead an' withered now
VERSE 4
Some may tell you I don't love you
Some may tell you I'm not true
But remember, little darling,
No one loves you as I do
VERSE 5
You may meet with brighter faces
Gliding down lifes rugged stream
But remember, little darling
You are always in my dream
VERSE 6
Take this ring, wear it on your finger
Wear it to remember me
When I'm dead an' fergotten
Look at th ring an' think of me
