These are the lyrics of a bluegrass version recorded in 1971 by Earl Taylor and Jim McCall with The Stony Mountain Boys (Bluegrass Favorites, Volume 2, Rural Rhythm RRET-242): My Little Girl My little girl you know I love you, And I long for you each day. My little girl I'm dreaming of you, Though you're many miles away. Now there's a place down in the wildwood Where you promised to be true. My little girl you know I'm waiting And I'm coming home to you. My little girl now you got sleepy And you went upstairs to bed. You put your false teeth on the dresser, And your wig upon the bed. You put your glass eye upon the table, And your leg upon the chair. My little girl you know I love you, Though you're scattered everywhere!
