The Locket

Say Mister, won't you listen to my story?
Do you see this little locket
That I'm holding in my hand?
For many years it's been my only treasure
But I'm gonna have to sell it if I can
Say I know it isn't worth a lot of money
But it's the memory of the one I loved
And used to call my own
We planned to share a life of love together
But she left me and now I'm all alone
And I only want I want a dollar for the locket
Can you see my baby's picture?
Well, she made that smile for me
And right inside it says: "I'll always love you"
You know this little locket means
All the world to me
Say I wonder if you'll do me one kind favour
If you take this little locket
Will you never let it go
And if you ever run into my body
Would you tell her that I'll always love her so.
