My little darling, oh, how I love you
How I love you, none can tell In your heart you love another Little darling pal of mine Many a day with you I've rambled Happiest hours with you I've spent Thought I had your heart forever Now I find it's only lent My little darling, oh, how I love you How I love you, none can tell In your heart you love another Little darling pal of mine Many a night while you lay sleeping Dreaming of your amber skies Was a poor girl broken-hearted Listening to the winds that sigh My little darling, oh, how I love you How I love you, none can tell In your heart you love another Little darling pal of mine Just three things that I wish for It's my casket, shroud and grave When I'm gone, don't weep for me Just kiss those lips that you betrayed My little darling, oh, how I love you How I love you, none can tell In your heart you love another Little darling pal of mine |

1.What a beautiful thought I am thinking
Con-cerning a great speckled bird Remember her name is re-corded On the pages of God's Holy Word. 2. All the other birds are flocking 'round her And she is despised by the squad But the great speckled bird in the Bible Is one with the great church of God. 3. All the other churches are against her They envy her glory and fame They hate her because she is chosen And has not denied Jesus' name. 4. Desiring to lower her standard They watch every move that she makes They long to find fault with her teachings But really they find no mistake. 5. She is spreading her wings for a journey She's going to leave by and by When the trumpet shall sound in the morning She'll rise and go up in the sky. 6. In the presence of all her despisers With a song never uttered before She will rise and be gone in a moment Till the great tribulation is o'er. 7. I am glad I have learned of her meekness I am proud that my name is on her book For I want to be one never fearing The face of my Savior to look. 8. When He cometh descending from heaven On the cloud that He writes in His Word I'll be joyfully carried to meet Him On the wings of that great speckled bird. |

How many times
Have you heard someone say If I had his money I'd do things my way How little they know That it's so hard to find One rich man in a hundred With a satisfied mind Once I was living In fortune and fame And everthing I could dream of To get a start in life's game And suddenly it happened I lost every dime But I'm richer by far With a satisfied mind No money can buy back Your youth when your old Or a friend when you're lonely Or a heart that's grown cold And the world's richest man Is a pauper at times Compared to the man With a satisfied mind When my life is over And my time has run out My friends and my loved ones I'll leave there's no doubt But there's one thing for certain When it comes my time I'll leave this old world With a satisfied mind I'll leave this old world With a satisfied mind |
