         G      C         G     C  G                       D      
It's a darling girl, my darling girl with eyes as dark as night 
       G        C  G              C             G       D       G 
And a heart so true but just so strong, set to live a darling life 
    G         C        G          C  G                          D 
As years roll by, she'll grow up fine and she'll sing a silent song 
           G          C           G            C 
But she'll find your piano and she'll find her wings 
           G             D    G 
and she'll sing all the days long

I'm waiting on a ghost 
D                    C 
To show her lovin arms 
G          D/F#        Em         C           G       D     G 
and sweet Marie I can see your faint light shining down on me 

verse 2 
        G            C           G          C 
Well go call on her brother and her sister too 
G                  D 
go call on all the town  
          G    C         G         C         G       D       G 
Tell them all today, your darling girl is to wear a wedding gown 
              G           C          G              C 
And though it all came so fast, ten years soon will pass  
G                        D 
before there's room for three 
    G          C          G         C 
My sister will grow, my mother will know  
       G           D        G 
soon there will be room for me.

verse 3 
        G       C     G        C 
Like an old toy top spins and stops 
    G                         D 
Or tag and last walks in the ball 
   G            C     G           C 
A long summer's wait come winding down 
           G      D      G 
She'll be buried in the fall 
G           C          G      C 
And now she sleeps with you Marie 
G                       D 
bittersweet is this old world 
      G       C       G       C       G       D      G 
They tell me soon my sister too will have a darling girl
