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 (understand me now)
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 (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"
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?
I love you what if you never do come back at all?"
Debbie don't worry doll, hey 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
