Put Me In Your Pocket
Recorded by the Wilburn Brothers
Written by Waldo LaFayette O'Neal
[3/4 time]

C       G7      C       F               C
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

             G7       C     F              C
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
