Don't forget me little darling

 

[E]At my window sad and [A]lonely

[B7]Often do I think of [E]you

And I [A]wonder little darling

[B7]If you're thinking of me [E]to

 

   [E] Don't forget me little [A]darling

    [B7]When from you I'm far [E]away

    But remember little [A]darling

    [B7]We may meet again some [E]day

 

Darling, I have come to tell you,

thoughthis message breaks my heart,

at the dawning of the morning,

we’ll be many miles apart.

 

Take this little bunch of roses,

that you gave me long ago,

many a time I’ve kissed them, darling,

these I’ll never kiss no more.

 

Who is going to love you, darling,

who will hold you to their breast?

Who will talk the future over,

while I roam the desert West?

 

You may meet with fairer faces

Some may tell you I'm not true

Don't believe them little darling

No one loves you as I do

 

* Refrain
