Nobody's Darling But Mine

(Traditional)



Come sit by my side little darling
Come lay your cool hand on my brow
Promise me that you will never
Be nobody's darling but mine

    (Chorus)
    Nobody's darling but mine love
    Be honest, be faithful, be kind
    Promise me that you will never
    Be nobody's darling but mine

You're as sweet as the flowers of springtime
You're as pure as the dew from the rose
I'd rather be somebody's darling
That a poor boy that nobody knows

    (Chorus)

My mother is dead and in heaven
My daddy has gone down below
Sister has gone to meet mother
And where I'll go nobody knows

    (Chorus)

Goodbye, goodbye little darling
I'm leaving this cold world behind
Promise me that you will never
Be nobody's darling but mine

    (Chorus)
