[Spoken:]
I’ll love you, darling, for a hundred years
And my falling tears tell it how it is

[Sung:]
Take my hand, girl, and walk with me
Make my soul feel heavenly
I just can’t help it, pretty baby
All my falling tears tell it like it is

I’m your soldier--yes, I’m your dream,
And I’ll be your little darling, just a-treat me tenderly
‘Cause ever since I laid eyes on you, baby,
My falling tears tell it like it is

O-oh, yes.

The more I see you, the more I want you
Then my heart sends the punk into flame
I sure can’t have you, yes, and be digging my grave, too
If I go crazy, you’ll be the blame

By my tears, yes, and hosts my fears
Be my little darkling, pain for a hundred years,
‘Cause I just can’t do without you, little darling,
All my falling tears tell it like it is

I can’t do it without you, pretty baby,
All my falling tears tell it like it is
