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
