The Carter Family - Why Do You Cry, Little Darling lyrics

[Verse] Why do you cry little darling Why are those tears in your eyes Why do you weep little darlin Just when I say goodbye It makes me sad and lonely To see you feel so blue What have I done little darlin I have I been untrue to you Cause you are called little darling To fight for your country true There's many a poor girl just like me Weeping for their sweetheart too I've tried so hard to be cheerful But thought of all the long years You might be gone little darlin I could not keep back my tears That's why I cry little darling Because you're going away Leaving me all broken hearted To weep for you day after day Every night I'll kneel by my bedside And ask God to guide you each day Back to your sweetheart that's waiting And loves you more than I can say
