     E                       A        B7                       E
    Don't forget me, little darling, when from me you're far away,
                          A       B7                      E
    but remember, little darling, we will meet again someday.

     E                      A          B7                            E
     Darling, I have come to tell you though this message breaks my heart,
                           A       B7                   E   A B7 E
    at the dawning of the morning we'll be many miles apart.

     E                         A     B7                    E
    Take this little bunch of roses that you gave me long ago,
                                   A         B7                      E
    many a time I've kissed them, darling, these I'll never kiss no more.

     E                         A       B7                           E
    Who is going to love you, darling, who will hold you to their breast?
                             A      B7                      E   A B7 E
    Who will talk the future over, while I roam the desert West?

     E                       A      B7                          E
    You may meet with many changes driving down life's river stream,
                          A       B7                     E
    but remember, little darling, you are always in my dreams.

     E                          A      B7                         E
    You may meet with brighter faces, some may say that I'm not true,
                          A        B7                    E  A B7 E
    but remember, little darling, none can love you as I do.

    E                     A     B7                       E
    At my window sad and lonely oft times do I think of you,
                        A      B7                   E
    and I wonder, oh I wonder, if you ever think of me.
