Cross My Heart by Sonny Boy Williamson II Lyrics

If you cross your heart to someone
You're not supposed to tell a lie
If you cross your heart to someone
You're not supposed to tell a lie
Before you say a wrong
Or either do wrong
It have to be so long
Or either goodbye

The first time I crossed my heart
I was by your bedside on my knees
Yes, the first time I crossed my heart
I was by your bedside down on my knees
Sure enough, may (spoke)
And I know the difference between
I knew I'd have to beg you
Please, darlin', help me please

I cross my heart
For you're the one, yes I know
I cross my heart to you
To you baby, because I know
There's no one else, I know
Anything you tell me to do
I have to do it or I'll have to go
