Lyrics

Love my darling, yes, I do
I love her till the sea goes dry
And if I thought she didn't love me
I'd take morphine and die
It was late last night when Willie come home
He made one rap on the door
"Is that you Willie? I would let you know
Darling, don't you rap no more"
The last good word I heard my mother say
"Sonny, come hold my head
Oh me, oh my
Never let a dollar by"
I pawned my watch and I pawned my chain
I pawned my good diamond ring
If that don't settle my drunken spree
Lord, I'll never drink no more
You hand me down my Jubilee
And all my dirty clothes
It's late last night when Willie come home
She made one rap on the door
"Is that you, Willie? I'd let you know
Honey, don't you rap no more"
I love my darling, yes I do
I love her till the sea goes dry
And if I thought she didn't love me
I'd take morphine and die
