Lonesome Dove 
Lonesome Dove 
Oh don't you see that lonesome dove That flies from vine to vine? He's mournin for his own true love, As I shall mourn for mine. 
As I shall mourn for mine my dear Believe me, what I say, You are the darlin' of my heart Until my dyin' day. 
I learned this from an R. Dyer-Bennet record about 40 years ago 
E.L. 
Note: Kurt Weill used this in Down in the Valley EL
