Oh my little darling
You must have come from the sea
With all of those little fishies
Pretty as can be

and oh my little darling
you must have come from the ground
with all of those little june bugs
crawlin all around

oh my little darling
you must have come from the trees
fallin out of them branches
fallin all over me

and oh my little darling
you won't be mine forever
you weren't made for me
you were made to be free

and when we are parted
put my body in that water
so I can sail far away
I will sail far away

and when we are parted
put my body in the ground
so all of your little june bugs
can crawl all around

hello my little darling
you wont be mind forever
you weren't made for me
you were made to be free

and when we are parted
put my body in the ground
so all your little june bugs
can crawl all around
