"Nobody's Darlin' But Mine" lyrics

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

Be nobody's darlin' but mine, love
Be honest, be faithful, be kind
And 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

Be nobody's darlin' but mine, love
Be honest, be faithful, be kind
And promise me that you will never
Be nobody's darlin' but mine

Goodbye, goodbye, little darlin'
I'm leaving this cold world behind
Promise me that you will never
Be nobody's darlin' but mine
