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.

Be nobody's darlin' but mine...
