Little girl, oh, don't you weep

no little girl don't cry.

Oh, my girl, now don't you weep

please, won't you tell me why?

Little girl, oh, don't you weep

no little girl don't cry.

Oh, my girl, now don't you weep

please, why won't you tell me why?

Night time comes to all, my girl

the lonely and the sad.

Brings some kind of comfort, girl

the only kind we had.

Now, my girl, it's time to part

if you insist then cry.

Yes, my girl, you played out your part,

that doesn't mean you must die.

Little girl, now go to sleep

I'll play this lullaby.

Little girl, now go, but know-

You didn't have to die.
