Lyrics Gold Watch & Chain - Meryl Streep, Garrison Keillor

Gold Watch & Chain

Darling, how can I stay here without you
I have nothing to ease my poor heart
all the world would seem sad dear without you
Tell me now that we never will part.
I will pawn you my gold watch and chain love
I will 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 bloomed in the garden
Well it died dear when broke my heart
It first bloomed on the day that I meet you
Only now we have fallen apart
I will pawn you my gold watch and chain love
I will pawn you my gold wedding ring
I will pawn you this heart in my bosom
Only say that you’ll love me again.
--- Instrumental ---
don’t you know that I gave you my hart, love
it was given and can’t be returned
you have left me an gone to another
all my hopes and bridges are burned
but I will pawn you my gold watch and chain love
and I will 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,
Only say that you’ll love me again…
