(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 is 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
