A lover sat one evening in the pale moonlight
F C D7 G7
Tomorrow he must go away life’s battles for to fight
C G7 C F C
He told her that he loved her that he'd return someday
F C G7 C
And take her as his darling wife and then he heard her say
G7 C F C
Put me in your pocket so I'll be close to you
F C D7 G7
No more will I be lonesome and no more will I be blue
C G7 C F C
And when we have to part dear there'll be no sad adieu's
F C G7 C
For I'll be in your pocket and I'll go along with you

That evening soon was ended her lover went away
F C D7 G7
And when at last he did return for the happy wedding day
C G7 C F C
His sweetheart she was absent to Heaven she had gone
F C G7 C
But she left to him her photograph on which she wrote this song
G7 C F C
Put me in your pocket so I'll be close to you
F C D7 G7
No more will I be lonesome and no more will I be blue
C G7 C F C
And when we have to part dear there'll be no sad adieu's
F C G7 C
For I'll be in your pocket and I'll go along with you
