Vance Randolph has several interesting versions, under the title "Don't Forget Me, Little Darling."

DON'T FORGET ME, LITTLE DARLING

A
I don't want your green-back dollar,
I don't want your watch and chain,
All I want is your love, little darlin',
Won't you take me back again?

Papa says we cannot marry,
Mamma says it cannot be,
All I want is your love, little darlin',
Won't you take me back again?

Some folks say you love another,
An' you care no more for me,
All I want is your love little darlin',
Won't you take me bach again?

From Miss Gladys Wheeler, MO, 1937. With music.

B
Once I had a darling sweetheart
And he thought the world of me,
Until he found another girl
Now he cares no more for me.

I don't want your greenback dollar,
I don't want your watch and chain,
All I want is you my darling,
Won't you take me back again.

Many a night with you I rambled
On the banks of the dark blue sea,
In your heart you loved another,
In my grave I'd rather be.

Mamma said we couldn't marry,
Papa said it would never do,
But if you ever learn to love me
I'll run away and marry you.

I don't want your greenback dollar,
I don't want your watch and chain,
All I want is a thirty-eight pistol
To blow out my dirty brains. (!!!)

Mrs. May Kennedy McCord, MO, 1942, from Miss Ethel Robinett, MO.

C
When you're in some furrin country,
When from you I'm far away,
Won't you 'member little darlin',
We will meet again some day.

When the train pulled out from Knoxville,
An' you bid me goodbye,
Sayin' go back home, my little darlin',
Go back home an' do not cry.

Went back home, my heart was broken,
Thinkin' of them days that's past,
Thinkin' of them lonesome hours,
Thinkin' they had come at last.

When you're in some furrin country,
When from you I'm far away,
Won't you 'member, little darlin',
No one loves you like I do.

Mr. Raymond Stanley, Arkansas, 1938. Same tune as Miss Wheeler.

D
Don't forget me, little darling,
Don't forget the happy past,
But remember, little darling,
You are ever in my dreams.

You may meet with many faces,
They may tell you I'm not true,
Don't believe them, little darling,
None can love you as I do.

At my window, sad and lonely,
Thinking only, love of thee,
And I wonder if my darling
Ever, ever thinks of me.

Mr. Will Guilliams, Arkansas, 1941. He says he heard it sung near Farmington, Arkansas, in the early 90's. With music.

Randolph says there are some very similar lines in the "Old Virginny" song reported by Sharp (English Folk Songs From the Southern Appalachians, 1932, II, p. 234) and in the 4th stanza of a piece called "Georgy Boy") Carter, JAFL, 46, 1933, p. 32).
