(Promise me that you will never be nobody's darlin' 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...
