Tiny Golden Locket 歌词

I walked into a tavern to have a drink and kill some time A little boy approached me with tears in his eyes He wasn't more that five or six but he stood like a man With a tiny golden locket clutched in his little hand He opened up the locket I saw a picture there He said sir that's my mommie please have you seen her anywhere She's all I have now in this world I must find her if I can Then he kissed the tiny locket clutched in his little hand I watched him leave and wondered where he go from here Then the scream of brakes along the street turned me cold with fear I ran and saw him lying there in the street so cold and dead With the tiny golden locket still in his little hand A woman staggered from the car to see what she had done She looked upon his little face then recognized her only son She cried oh Lord what have I done forgive me if you can And the tiny golden locket fell from his little hand
