Verse 1

C                                                       F
Don't forget me little darling when I'm growing old and gray
     G7                                      C
Just a little thought before you’re gone far away
                                                         F
I'll be waiting on the hillside where the wild red roses grow
       G7                                                    C
On the sunny side of the mountains where the rippling waters flow

Verse 2

                                                    F
Don't forget about those years that we courted long ago
      G7                                        C
Don't forget all those promises you gave me and so
                                                                F
Been so long dear since I've seen you but my love still lingers on
      G7                                                 C
Don't forget me little darling though our love affair is gone

Verse 3

                                                       F
Tell me darling in your letter do you ever think about me
     G7                                                C
I’ve wondered little darling wonder where that you can be
                                                              F
I'll be waiting on the hillside wondering when the day you’ll call
       G7                                                   C
On the sunny side of the mountain where the rippling waters fall

Don't forget me little darling when I'm growing old and gray
     G7                                      C
Just a little thought before you’re gone far away
                                                         F
I'll be waiting on the hillside where the wild red roses grow
       G7                                                    C
On the sunny side of the mountains where the rippling waters flow
