INTRO
CHORUS
Oh, I'll pawn you my gold watch and chain love
And I'll pawn you my gold wedding ring
I'll pawn you this heart in my bosom
If you'll say that you love me again
VERSE 1
Darling how can I stay here without you
I have nothing to cheer my poor heart
This old world would seem sad love without you
Tell me now that we never will part
(CHORUS)
VERSE 2
Take back all the gifts you have given
A diamond ring and a lock of your hair
An old frame with your picture inside it
It's a face that is false but it's fair
