Be Nobody's Darling But Mine

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 boy that nobody knows



Be nobody's darlin' but mine love



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







Goodbye, goodbye little darling

I'm leaving this cold world behind

Promise me that you will never

Be nobody's darling but mine
