Once I had a blue-eyed darling,
Sweeter than my life could be.
When she kissed and called me daddy,
She was such [bad word] 

Fate one day decreed to take her,
And before she went away.
She called me to her darling bedside,
And I heard her softly say.

 [bad word] doll please keep it Daddy,
Never let [bad word] away.
When I'm gone way up in heaven,
Put [bad word] doll away.

My whole life was wrapped up in her,
Greater love no man has had.
For his blue-eyed darling baby,
For his to kiss and call him Dad.

I recall the saddest hour,
when I heard my baby say.
After I have left you daddy,
Put [bad word] doll away.

 [bad word] doll I'll keep it safely,
In my heart and memory.
Just a [bad word] dolly,
That my darling left with me.

I pray that God in his tender mercy,
When I leave this world behind.
Will lead me to that precious jewel,
That darlin' baby girl of mine.
