Lyrics

My Little Darlin’
Songwriter Gary Davis & Mark Brinkman – 7/26

In South Carolina…where the tall pines grow
I left my little darlin’…a long time ago
Got into some trouble…with bad company
Ended up in the jail house…they threw away the key.

They locked me away…for twenty long years
When I got home…there was nothing but tears
For mother and daddy…were both passed and gone
And my little darlin’…she had moved on.

My little darlin’…oh, what have I done
I’ve ruined my life…and squandered our love
She’s found another…and left me behind
And my little darlin’…will never be mine.

We met in the springtime…to wed in the fall
But one night of drinkin’…changed it all
I’ve got no excuses…and I am to blame
Now my little darlin’…will never share my name.

My little darlin’…oh, what have I done
I’ve ruined my life…and squandered our love
She’s found another…and left me behind
My little darlin’…will never be mine.


She’s found another…and left me behind
My little darlin’…will never be mine.
