C G7 C
A lover sat one evening
F C
in the pale moonlight
F C
Tomorrow he must go away
D7 G7
life's battles for to fight
C G7 C
He told her that he loved her
F C
that he'd return someday
F C
And take her as his darling wife
G7 C
and then he heard her say
G7 C
Put me in your pocket
F C
so I'll be close to you
F C
No more will I be lonesome
D7 G7
and no more will I be blue
C G7 C
And when we have to part dear
F C
there'll be no sad adieu's
F C
For I'll be in your pocket
G7 C
and I'll go along with you
G7 C
That evening soon was ended
F C
her lover went away
F C
And when at last he did return
D7 G7
for the happy wedding day
C G7 C
His sweetheart she was absent
F C
to Heaven she had gone
F C
But she left to him her photograph
G7 C
on which she wrote this song
G7 C
Put me in your pocket
F C
so I'll be close to you
F C
No more will I be lonesome
D7 G7
and no more will I be blue
C G7 C
And when we have to part dear
F C
there'll be no sad adieu's
F C
For I'll be in your pocket
G7 C
and I'll go along with you
