A lock of your hair and a faded red ribbon
Is all I have left to remind me of you
A lock of your hair and a faded red ribbon
Is all I have left of a love we onece knew
Is all I have left of a love we onece knew

I know I mistreated you and you went away
You found somebody new and now I must pay
Listen here boys if you have a sweetheart
Show her you love her and make her your wife
For the lock of her hair and a faded red ribbon
Will make you unhappy for the rest of your life
Will make you unhappy for the rest of your life

listen here boys is you have a sweetheart
Show her you love her and make her your wife
