Darling come here I need to talk to you

my mama's ill so I'm going back to texas

we can only afford but one bus ticket

you know I might be gone for some time

debbie don't worry doll cause you'll always be mine

Cry on my tummy and be understanding

you know things like this just don't allow planning

so let me tell you we're never apart

girl you live in my heart

and I still get lonely

but I know we'll be fine cause you'll always be mine

I hate a-knowing I must be going

my mama's dying she's a-crying help me

hey I gotta go no ben no, what if you find a new love in the heartland?

oh come on baby, i'm not that kind of man and you'll always be mine

i'm not believing you're a-leaving

whom i'm holding when I get cold in december?

hey, I love you what if you never do come back at all?

debbie don't worry doll, I love you and that's all.

You know that we'll be fine (we'll be fine) and you'll always be mine

you're the best girl of all time and you'll always be mine.
