Lyrics Say Darling Say - Dirk Powell

Say little darlin' won't you marry me
Live in the holler 'neath the old oak tree
Say darlin' say
'Neath the old oak tree we'll make our home
Never more this world to roam
Say darlin' say

Say little darlin' if you were mine
You wouldn't do nothin' 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 the 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 darlin' don't say a word
Papa's gonna buy you a mockingbird
Say darlin' say
If that mockingbird don't sing
Papa's gonna buy you a diamond ring
Say darlin' say
If that diamond ring is glass
Papa's gonna buy you a lookin' glass
Say darlin' say
If that lookin' glass gets broke
Papa's gonna buy you a billy goat
Say darlin' say
If that billy goat won't pull
Papa's gonna buy you a cart and bull
Say darlin' say
If that cart and bull fall down
You're still the sweetest baby in town
Say darlin' say
