Nobody's Darlin' But Mine

Come sit by my side, little darlin',
Come lay your cool hand on my brow;
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.

Goodbye, goodbye, little darlin',
I'm leaving you just for a while,
Promise me that you will never,
Be nobody's darlin' but mine.
