Tiny Golden Locket Lyrics

Tiny Golden Locket lyrics

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
