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.
