G  
You should know my little darling,   
        G        D                      G  
You left my poor heart in distress.  


[Refrão]
   G  
I got a letter from my darling,  
        G                      D  
She said she hated to go.  
  G  
It broke my heart the words she wrote me,  
        G           D                       G  
She closed by saying I love you so.  
  
G  
This letter meant goodbye forever,  
G                            D  
Though we'll have each other's hearts.  
G  
Our love will fade away in sadness,  
        G        D                      G  
Precious one why do we have to part?  
  
***Chorus  
G  
She wrote the words she knew would hurt me,  
G                            D  
She said I never could be true.  
G  
I've tried, I'ved tried my little darling,  
        G        D                      G  
To prove my love was just for you.  
  
***Chorus
