Dearest Darlin - Bo Diddley

Dearest darling

Dearest darling

Dearest darling

Don’t you know

The Lord above

Created you

Just for me to love

Picked you out

From all the rest

Because He knew I

Loved you best

Dearest darling

Dearest darling

Dearest darling

Take my hand, take

My hand

I once had a heart

So trill and true

But now it’s gone

From me to you

Take care of it

Like I have done

For you have two hearts

And I have none

Dearest darling

Dearest darling

Dearest darling

If I get to heaven

Before you do

I’ll try to make a hole

And pull you thru

Dearest… dearest…dearest

If I go to heaven

And you not there

I’m gonna write your name

On the heavenly stair

If you aren’t there

By turn of day

Then I know baby

You know the way

Dearest… dearest…dearest

O sweet baby, o sweet baby…
