[Verse]
Come lay by my side, little darling
Come lay your cool hand on my brow
And promise me that you will always
Be nobody's darling but mine

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

Be nobody's darling but mine, love
Be honest, be faithful, be kind
And promise me that you will always
Be nobody's darling but mine

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