Gold Watch and Chain
The Nitty Grity Dirt Band with Kris Kristofferson
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 diamond ring
I will pawn you this heart in my bosom
Only say that you will love me again
Darling how could 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 will never part
Oh I'll pawn you my gold watch and chain love
And I'll pawn you my gold diamond ring
I will pawn you this heart in my bosom
Only say that you will love me again
Take back all the gifts you have given
But a ring and a lock of your hair
And as 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 diamond ring
I will pawn you this heart in my bosom
Only say that you will love me again
Tell me why that you do not love me
Tell me why that your smile is not bright
Tell me why you have grown so cold-hearted
Is there no kiss for me love tonight
Oh I'll pawn you my gold watch and chain love
And I'll pawn you my gold diamond ring
I will pawn you this heart in my bosom
Only say that you will love me again
