Carter Family – Lonesome For You Darling lyrics

I am lonesome for you darling
Though from me you're far away
In a lonely little cottage
I am waiting day by day

Though you went away and left me
Left me alone in this old world
How it hurt me little darling
To hear you say those parting words

I can see you in the moonlight
Strolling down lover's lane
I know it's you I love my darling
Wont you take me back again

Do you think we could be happy
Do you think we could be true
To the one that's always loved you
No one loves you like I do

Wont you take me back my darling
So I can prove my love to you
If you'll accept me little darling
We will start our lives anew

I will take you back my darling
If you promise to be true
Let me look my little darling
In your loving eyes of blue

We are happy now together
In the moonlight all alone
And we'll settle down forever
In our little cottage home
