Come on, Little Pink, tell me what do you think?
You're a long time making up your mind
I truly understand that you love another man
Your heart will no longer be mine

Remember false that you told me, Little Pink
When we sat on the hillside to rest
Tried to make me believe all them lies that you told
When the sun went down in the west

Said I'll never marry
No lyin' man
Or a man just for steel
I'm gonna marry some handsome little man
Who rolls his wheels by steam

Well, fifteen cents is all the money I've got
And a dollar's all I crave
Fifteen cents and that old morphine
Gonna take me to my lonesome grave

No, I'll never listen to what another man say
If his eyes be blue or brown
'Less he's on some scaffold to be home
Saying "won't you take me down"
Well, the last time I saw my pretty Little Pink
She was standing in the old hollow
Wringing her hands and a-crying so
Calling "come back honey please don't go"

Come on, Little Pink, tell me what do you think?
You're a long time making up your mind
I used to think you's the prettiest little thing
That ever the sun shone on
