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 in springtime You're as pure as the dew on the road
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
And promise me that you will never Be nobody's darlin' but mine
Music
My mother has gone up to heaven
My daddy is with her, I know
And so I'll be there for her, I know

My sister has gone to meet mother
But where I'll go, 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
Music
