G 
You should know my little darling,  
        G        D                      G 
You left my poor heart in distress. 
***Chorus***: 
   G 
I got a letter from my darling, 
        G                      D 
She said she hated to go. 
  G 
It broke my heart the words she wrote me, 
        G           D                       G 
She closed by saying I love you so. 
********************** 
G 
This letter meant goodbye forever, 
G                            D 
Though we'll have each other's hearts. 
G 
Our love will fade away in sadness, 
        G        D                      G 
Precious one why do we have to part? 
 
***Chorus 
G 
She wrote the words she knew would hurt me, 
G                            D 
She said I never could be true. 
G 
I've tried, I'ved tried my little darling, 
        G        D                      G 
To prove my love was just for you. 
 
***Chorus
