Tommy Jarrell sings this song on THE LEGACY OF TOMMY JARRELL, VOL. II, THE RAINBOW SIGN. I don't have this, so if anybody does, I'd love to have his lyrics to "SAY, DARLIN', SAY". Here is Sheila Kay Adam's version:

SAY, DARLIN', SAY
(from Sheila Kay Adams)

Say little darlin, don't say a word,
Daddy's gonna buy you a mockin' bird.
Say, darlin' say.

And if that mockin' bird don't sing,
Daddy's gonna buy you a diamond ring.

And if that diamond ring turns to brass,
Daddy's gonna buy you a lookin' glass.

And if that lookin' glass gets broke,
Daddy's gonna buy you a billy goat.

And if that billy goat don't buck,
Daddy's gonna buy a little Chevrolet truck.

Say, little darlin', don't say a word,
Daddy's gonna buy you a mockin' bird.

And if that mockin' bird don't sing,
Daddy's gonna buy you a diamond ring.

Say little darlin, if you was mine,
You wouldn't do nothin' but starch and iron.

Starch and iron would be your trade,
And I'd get drunk and lay in the shade.

Thanks for all of your help.
