debbie don't worry doll

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

but let me tell you we're never apart

cause 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"
