[Intro] G [Chorus]
G
Sweet as the flowers in May time

                        D
Sweet as the dew on the rose

        G
I would rather be somebody’s darling

                   D      G
As a poor girl who nobody knows
[Verse 1]
G
Oh, momma scolds me for flirting

                             D
What else has a poor girl to do

         G
Oh, this world would be sad without a lover

                        D           G
And this world would be sad without you

[Solo]
   G                                D        G                    D     G

[Verse 2]
G
Oh, I wish I had someone to love me

                              D
Someone just to call me their own

       G
Be the rule over somebody’s kitchen

                  D          G
Or the queen over somebody’s home
[Chorus]
G
Sweet as the flowers in May time

                        D
Sweet as the dew on the rose

        G
I would rather be somebody’s darling

                   D      G
As a poor girl who nobody knows

[Solo]
   G                                D        G                    D     G

[Verse 3]
G
Oh, what is the use of us parting

                               D
Where there’s a will there’s a way

  G
Tomorrow the sun may be shinning

               D        G
Although it is cloudy today
[Chorus]
G
Sweet as the flowers in May time

                        D
Sweet as the dew on the rose

        G
I would rather be somebody’s darling

                   D      G
As a poor girl who nobody knows
