Just one year since you told me you loved me
And said, love, we never would part
But a link in the chain has been broken
Leaving me with a sad and aching heart

Will you take back everything that I gave you
Your ring, that little lock of hair
It's a card with your picture, sweetheart, on it
There'll never be another girl so fair

Hand in hand we walked along together
Hand in hand we walked along in pride
Hand in hand we walked along together
Honey, down by that big river side

I will take back everything that I gave you
that ring, that little lock of hair
But keep the card with your picture, sweetheart, on it
There'll never be another girl so fair
