(Nat Simon / Jimmy Kennedy)

As recorded by PATTI PAGE:


You told me I was your darlin'
You kept me hangin' around
Somebody else is your darlin'
So lonesome and blue I'll be found

Down the trail of achin' hearts
Where nobody hides their tears
You sent me there where sadness starts
Down the trail of achin' hearts

Once I was passing your window
Under the light of a star
Somebody else played my love song
And played it on my old guitar

Down the trail of achin' hearts
Where nobody hides their tears
You sent me there where sadness starts
Down the trail of achin' hearts

After you've had all your darlin's
Maybe you'll be on the shelf
One of these days, little darlin'
Now you may be down there by yourself

Down the trail of achin' hearts
Where nobody hides their tears
You sent me there where sadness starts
Down the trail of achin' hearts
