[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] Nobody’s darlin’ but mine, love Be honest, be faithful, be kind Promise me that you will never Be nobody’s darlin’ but mine [Verse 3] 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. [Verse 4] My mother is dead and in heaven My daddy has gone down below Sister has gone to meet mother And where I’ll go, nobody knows [Verse 5] Goodbye, goodbye little darlin’ I’m leaving this cold world behind Promise me that you will never Be nobody's darling but mine.
