Nobodys Darlin But Mine

Jimmie Davis


Tom: D

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


[Verse 2]
D                    G
Nobody's darlin' but mine, love
G  A                       D
Be honest, be faithful, be kind
D                        G
Promise me that you will never
G  A                    G
Be nobody's darlin' but mine.


[Verse 3]
D                                 G
You're as sweet as the flowers of springtime
G         A                        D
You're as pure as the dew from the rose
D                          G
I had rather be somebody's darlin'
G      A                     G
Than a poor girl that nobody knows.


[Verse 4]
D                        G
My Mother is dead and in heaven
G            A         G
My Daddy has gone down below
D                       G
Sister has gone to meet Mother
G  A                     D
An where I'll go, nobody knows.


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