| Come sit by my side little darling
|
| Come lay your cool hand on my brow
|
| Promise me that you will never
|
| Be nobody’s darling but mine
|
| Nobody’s darling but mine love
|
| Be honest, be faithful, be kind
|
| Promise me that you will never
|
| Be nobody’s carling but mine
|
| You’re as sweet as the flowers of springtime
|
| You’re as pure as the dew from the rose
|
| I’d rather be somebody’s darling
|
| That a poor boy that nobody knows
|
| 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 |
