VERSE 1
I am thinking of th past, dear
And my heart is broke today
Now, I have loved you little darling
Till bestolled my love away

VERSE 2
I had planned on being married
Been so busy night and day
But you left me for another
Now I'm crying all th way

VERSE 3
In tears, I see you when I'm sleeping
You have meant this world to me
But now, you left me broken hearted
And you care no more for me

VERSE 4
You will miss me, little darling
When I've gone so far away
Three short years we've been so happy
All my night is bright as day

VERSE 5
I dreamed of you, last night, my darling
Though I helt you very near
But I woke up broken hearted
And my pillow was wet with tears

VERSE 6
But now, you've left me for another
And my heart is broke today
But I hope you will be happy
Since bestoll my heart away

VERSE 7
Quit me darling, if you wish to
After I have been so true
I will sing beside your casket
And lay flowers on your gave

VERSE 8
I know that I can't n'er forget you
Tho it's been a broken love
I will keep you in my memory
Till we meet in heaven above
