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 girl that nobody knows.

My Mother is dead and in heaven

My Daddy has gone down below

Sister has gone to meet Mother

An where I'll go, nobody knows.

Goodbye, goodbye little darlin'

I'm leaving this cold world behind

Promise me that you will never

Be nobody's darlin' but mine.
