My Sweet Imogene

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...
