Darling, how can 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're never to part
I will pawn you my gold watch and chain, love I will pawn you my gold diamond 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 But a 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
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.
