Come lay by my side little darlin' Come lay your cool hand on my brow Promise me that you will always 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 And I'd rather be somebody's darlin' Than a poor boy that nobody knows
Be nobody's darlin' but mine love Be honest be faithful be kind And promise me that you will always Be nobody's darlin' but mine
Goodbye little darlin' I'm leaving I'm leaving this cold world behind So promise me that you will never Be nobody's darlin' but mine
