Come sit by my side, little darlin' Come lay your cool hand on my browAnd promise me that you will never Be nobody's darlin' but mineYou're as sweet as the flowers in springtime You're as pure as the dew on the roadI'd rather be somebody's darlin' Than a poor girl that nobody knowsBe nobody's darlin' but mine, love Be honest, be faithful and kindAnd promise me that you will never Be nobody's darlin' but mineAnd promise me that you will never Be nobody's darlin' but mineMusicMy mother has gone up to heavenMy daddy is with her, I knowAnd so I'll be there for her, I knowMy sister has gone to meet motherBut where I'll go, nobody knowsBe nobody's darlin' but mine, loveBe honest, be faithful and kindAnd promise me that you will never Be nobody's darlin' but mineMusic
