"Goodbye, Little Darlin', Goodbye" (also known as "Goodby Little Darlin") is a 1939 song written by Gene Autry and Johnny Marvin. Autry sang it (as a duet with Mary Lee) in the December 1939 movie South of the Border, and released it as a single in April 1940. It went on to make both Popular and Hillbilly (Country) listings for 1940.
The song would be notably recorded by Johnny Cash at Sun Records probably on December 13, 1956, and released as a single (Sun 331, with "You Tell Me" on the opposite side) in September 1959, when he had already left the label for Columbia.
