"Gold Watch and Chain" Lyrics

(A.P. Carter)

Oh, I'll pawn you my gold watch and chain love
And I'll pawn you my gold wedding ring
I will pawn you this heart in my bosom
Only say that you'll love me again.

Darling, how could I stay here without you
I have nothing to ease my poor heart
This old world would seem sad love without you
Tell me now that we never will part.

Oh I'll pawn you my gold watch and chain love
And I'll pawn you my gold wedding ring
I will pawn you this heart in my bosom
Only say that you'll love me again.

Take back all the gifts you have given
A diamond ring and a lock of your hair
And a card with your picture upon it
It's a face that is false but it's fair.

Oh I'll pawn you my gold watch and chain love
And I'll pawn you my gold wedding ring
I will pawn you this heart in my bosom
Only say that you'll love me again.

Oh, the white rose that blooms in the garden
It grows with the love of my heart
It broke through on the day that I met you
It will die on the day that we part.

Oh I'll pawn you my gold watch and chain love
And I'll pawn you my gold wedding ring
I will pawn you this heart in my bosom
Only say that you'll love me again.

Only say that you'll love me again...
