D                          G                       
Come sit by my side little darlin',
     D             A          D                       
Come lay your cool hand on my brow,
                         G                      
Promise me that you will never,
    A                    D                         
 be Nobody's Darlin' but Mine,

                     G                          
Nobody's Darlin' but my love,
   A                       D                       
Be honest, be faithful, be kind,
                         G                      
Promise me that you will never,
    A                    D                         
 be Nobody's Darlin' but Mine,

                                  G             
You're as sweet as the flowers in springtime,
          D           A            D                  
You're as pure as the dew from the rose,
                             G                  
And I'd rather be somebody's darling,
       A                    D                      
Than a poor boy that nobody knows,

                           G                    
Good-bye, Good-bye, little darlin',
    A                      D                       
I'm leaving you just for a while,
                         G                      
Promise me that you will never,
    A                    D                         
 be Nobody's Darlin' but Mine.
