Oh my little darling,
You must have come from the sea
With all those little fishes
Pretty as can be.
And oh my little darling
Ya must have come from the ground
With all of those little junebugs
Crawling all around
(break)
Oh my little darling,
You must have come from the trees
Falling out of them branches
Falling all over me
And oh my little darling
You won't be mine forever
You weren't made for me
You were made to be free
(break)
And when we are parted
Put my body in that water
So I can sail far away
I will sail far away
And when we are parted
Put my body in the ground
So all your little junebugs
Can crawl all around
(break)
Hello my little darling
You won't be mine forever
You weren't made for me
You were made to be free
And when we are parted
Put my body in the ground
So all your little junebugs
Can crawl all around
