NOBODY'S DARLIN' BUT MINE
Written by Jimmie Davis
As recorded by Jimmie Davis, 1934, on Decca 5090 B

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

2. Nobody's darlin' but mine, love;
Be honest, be faithful, be kind.
Promise me that you will never
Be nobody's darlin' but mine.

3. 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 girl that nobody knows.

4. 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.

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