Merle Haggard — Nobody’s Darling But Mine

[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
