Come sit by my side little darlin'
Came 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 never 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.
