Come sit by my side little darlin' Come lay your cool hand on my brow And promise me that you will never be Nobody's darlin' but mine.
Nobody's darlin' but mine Love be honest, be faithful, be kind Promise me that you will never be Nobody's darlin' but mine.
You're as sweet as the flowers of springtime You're as pure as the dew from the rose I had rather be somebody's darlin' Than a poor boy that nobody knows.
Nobody's darlin' but mine Love be honest, be faithful, be kind Promise me that you will never be Nobody's darlin' but mine.
