(Wakely)

Information:
Jimmy Wakely wrote and recorded I’ll Never Let You Go (Little Darlin’) (Decca 5973) in 1941. Ten years later, Jimmy Liggins recorded the song on Specialty Records (Specialty 470).

Elvis recorded I’ll Never Let You Go on September 10, 1954, at Sun Records. The original Sun recording was not released until RCA issued it two years later.

Lyrics:

I'll never let you go, little darlin'
I'm so sorry 'cause I made you cry
I'll never let you go, 'cause I love you
So, please, don't ever say good-bye

The stars would tumble down beside me,
The moon would hang its head and cry
My arms would never hold another, baby doll
If we should ever say good-bye

Well, I'll never let you go, 'cause I love you, little baby
I'm so sorry 'cause I made you cry, I made you cry
Yeah, I'll never let you go, 'cause I love you, little baby
So, please, don't ever say good-bye
