NOBODY'S DARLING BUT MINE
Recorded by Jimmie Davis
Words and music by Jimmie Davis

[G] Come sit by my side, little [C] darlin'
Come [D] lay your cool hand on my [G] brow
Promise me that you will nev-[C] er
Be [D] nobody's darlin' but [G] 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 girl that nobody knows.

My Mother is dead and in heaven
My Daddy has gone down below
Sister has gone to meet Mother
An where I'll go, nobody knows.

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