Sweet as the flowers in May time Sweet as the dew on the rose I would rather be somebody's darling As a poor girl who nobody knows Oh momma scolds me for burning What else has a poor girl to do Oh this world would be sad without a lover And this world would be sad without you Oh I wish I had someone to love me Someone just to call me their own Be the rule over somebody's kitchen Or the queen over somebody's home Oh what is the use of us parting Where there's a will there's a way Tomorrow the sun may be shinning Although it is cloudy today
