I loved my little darling, my sweet Imogene
The girl of my heart and the girl of my dreams
I dreamed of a day when she'd be mine alone
To share all my hopes and to have for my own.
A cabin in a canyon, a hill with a view
Castles in the air I've built just for two
I love my little darling, my sweet Imogene
The girl of my heart and the girl of my dreams.

I lost my little darling, my sweet Imogene
The girl of my heart and the girl of my dreams
Her eyes are like the dawn of a blue summer day
Her face like a rose and her lips a bouquet.
The sun in the sky borrowed gold from her hair
The birds were singin' because she was there
I lost my little darlin', my sweet Imogene
The girl of my heart and the girl of my dreams...
