| 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
|
| You’re as sweet as the flowers of springtime
|
| You’re as pure as the dew on the rose
|
| I’d rather be somebody’s darlin' than a poor girl that nobody knows
|
| Be nobody’s darlin' but mine love be honest be faithful and kind
|
| And promise me that you will never be nobody’s darlin' but mine
|
| My mother has gone up to heaven my daddy is with her I know
|
| And sister has gone to meet mother but where I’ll go nobody knows
|
| Be nobody’s darlin'… |
