Say little darlin won't you marry me Live in a holler neath the old oak tree Say darlin say In the old oak tree we'll make our home Never more in this world to roam Say darlin say
Say little darlin if you were mine You wouldn't do nothing but starch and iron Say darlin say Starch and iron would be your trade I'd get drunk and lay in the shade Say darlin say
Say little darlin won't you marry me Live in a holler neath the old oak tree Say darlin say Live in the holler neath the old oak tree Children bouncin' on daddy's knee Say darlin say
Hush little darling don't say a word Poppa's gonna buy you a mocking bird Say darlin say If that mocking bird don't sing Poppa gonna buy you a diamond ring Say darlin say
If that diamond ring is brass I'm gonna buy you a looking glass Say darlin say If that looking glass gets broke Poppa gonna buy you a billy goat Say darlin say
If that billy goat won't pull Poppa's gonna buy you a cart and bull Say darlin say If that cart and bull falls down You're still the sweetest baby in town Say darlin say
