(By Jimmie Davis)
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
Nobody's darlin' but mine
Love be honest, be faithful, be kind
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
Nobody's darlin' but mine
Love be honest, be faithful, be kind
Promise me that you will never be
Nobody's darlin' but mine
Be nobody's darlin' but mine...
