Come to my bedside, my darling
Come over here and close the door
Won't you lay your body soft
Well, I've waited for you, such a long time
I tried to grow and be a better man
If in you knew your love was made
Though my clothes may lay
my dear life's golden secrets
Your back has shown my fingers
And your lips have whispered wisdom
So come to my bedside, my darling
Come over here and close the door
Won't you lay your body soft
And drop your petticoat upon the floor
Your eyes are bluer than the
Your hair is flowing dark and flowing long
And your skin is more gold
Yes, it is softer than the breeze
with every passing sunset
I plan a plan on every new day born
Oh, no, my words cannot describe
So come to my bedside, my darling
Come over here and close the door
Won't you lay your body soft and
close beside me right now,
and drop the petticoat upon the floor.
