Gold Watch And Chain - Emmylou Harris

(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
