Merle Haggard - Put Me in Your Pocket lyrics

Two lovers sat one evening beneath the pale moon light Tomorrow he must go away, life's battles for to fight He told her that he loved her and that he'd return someday And he took her for his darling wife and then he heard her say "Put me in your pocket so I'll be close to you No more will I be lonesome and no more will I be blue And when we have to part, dear, there'll be no sad adieus For I'll be in your pocket and I'll go along with you" That evening soon was ended, her lover, well, he went away And when at last he did return for their happy homecoming day His sweetheart, well, she was absent, to Heaven she had gone But she left to him her photograph on which she wrote this song "Put me in your pocket so I'll be close to you No more will I be lonesome and no more will I be blue And when we have to part, dear, there'll be no sad adieus For I'll be in your pocket and I'll go along with you"
