For my name, just call me lonely
And my past, just say it's bad
But the story I'm about to tell you
Well I never had nothing,
I was about to lose myself
Oh my darling, oh my darling,
Darling don't fall in love with me
I will only make you lonely
Oh my darlin' oh my darlin'
Oh my darlin' can't you see
But my darlin' she wouldn't listen
She said boy you shut your mouth
If two people really love each other
They should try and work it out
And my life was filled with glee
There was a guy messin' with my Mary
And I begged him to let her be
All I could hear was my Mary cryin'
Because he placed his knife in me
Oh my darlin', oh my darlin',
I will only make you lonely
Oh my darling, oh my darling, oh my darling
Oh my darling, now can't you see
