VERSE 1
Your as sweet as th flowers in springtime
Your as pure as th dew on th rose
I'd rather be somebodies darlin'
Than a poor girl that nobody knows
VERSE 2
Goodbye, goodbye, little darling
I'm leavin this cool world behind
But promise me that you will never
Be nobodies darlin' but mine
VERSE 3
My Mother is dead an' in Heaven
My Daddy has gone there, I know
Sister has gone to meet Mother
An' where I'll go nobody knows
VERSE 4
Goodbye, goodbye, little darling
I'm leavin this cold world behind
But promise me that you will never
Be nobodies darlin' but mine
VERSE 5
Be nobodies darlin' but mine, love
Be honest, be faithful an' kind
Promise me that you will never
Be nobodies darlin' but mine
