Darling Girl

Capo 2nd Fret

Verse 1

It's a darling girl, my darling girl with eyes as dark as night

And a heart so true but just so strong, set to live a darling life

As years roll by, she'll grow up fine and she'll sing a silent song

But she'll find your piano and she'll find her wings

and she'll sing all the days long

Chorus:

I'm waiting on a ghost

To show her lovin arms

and sweet Marie I can see your faint light shining down on me

Verse 2:

Well go call on her brother and her sister too

go call on all the town

Tell them all today, your darling girl is to wear a wedding gown

And though it all came so fast, ten years soon will pass

before there's room for three

My sister will grow, my mother will know

soon there will be room for me.

Chorus:

I'm waiting on a ghost

To show her lovin arms

and sweet Marie I can see your faint light shining down on me

Verse 3:

Like an old toy top spins and stops

Or tag and last walks in the ball

А long summer's wait come winding down

She'll be buried in the fall

And now she sleeps with you Marie

bittersweet is this old world

They tell me soon my sister too will have a darling girl

Chorus:

I'm waiting on a ghost

To show her lovin arms

and sweet Marie I can see your faint light shining down on me
