(D)Come lay by my (D7)side little (G)darling (Em)
Come (A7)lay your cool hand on my (D)brow
Promise me (D7)that you will (G)always (Em)
Be (A7)nobody's darling but (D)mine

You're as (D)sweet as the (D7)flowers of (G)springtime (Em)
You're as (A7)pure as the dew from the (D)rose
And I'd rather be (D7)somebody's (G)darling (Em)
Than a (A7)poor boy that nobody (D)knows

Be (D)nobody's (D7)darling but (G)my love (Em)
Be (A7)honest, be faithful, be (D)kind
And promise me (D7)that you will (G)always (Em)
Be (A7)nobody's darling but (D)mine

Good-(D)bye, little (D7)darling, I'm (G)leaving (Em)
I'm (A7)leaving this cold world be-(D)hind
So promise me (D7)that you will (G)never (Em)
Be (A7)nobody's darling but (D)mine -----
