Little Darling
From the singing of Carrie Milliner and the Bobbin
Family.
Little Darling
(Unknown)
Arranged by Chloe and Jason Roweth.
Author unknown. Carrie remembers her dad singing this one around the fire.
Just one example of the early country songs that were being sung at "The Nullica".Now you call me your little darling, you say that you love only me,
This world you say you are leaving, and I'm lonesome, as lonesome can be.
Chorus
Mother says I'm too young to marry, Dad says that our love is unfair,
Sister is cross and provoking, and my life is a burden to bear.
But no matter what they all say dear, though I know that our love is in vain,
I'll always be your little darling, though I know that our love causes pain.
I'll remember all that you've told me, I'll be honest and faithful and true,
I'll always be your little darling, 'til the Lord calls me home dear to you.
I'll bid you goodbye now my darling, I'm leaving this whole world behind,
I'll always be your little darling, I'll be honest and faithful and kind.
