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 of springtime
You`re as pure as the dew on the rose
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
[ steel ]
My mother has gone up to heaven my daddy is with her I know
And sister has gone to meet mother but where I`ll go nobody knows
Be nobody`s darlin`...
