Oh I'll pawn you my gold watch and chain love
And I'll pawn you my gold wedding ring
I will pawn you this heart in my bosom
Only say that you'll love me again

Darling, how could I stay here without you
I have nothing to ease my poor heart
This old world would seem sad, love, without you
Tell me now that we never will part

Oh I'll pawn you my gold watch and chain love
And I'll pawn you my gold wedding ring
I will pawn you this heart in my bosom
Only say that you'll love me again

Take back all the gifts you have given
A diamond ring and a lock of your hair
And a card with your picture upon it
It's a face that is false but is fair

Oh I'll pawn you my gold watch and chain love
And I'll pawn you my gold wedding ring
I will pawn you this heart in my bosom
Only say that you'll love me again

Oh, the white rose that blooms in the garden
It grows with the love of my heart
It broke through on the day that I met you
It will die on the day that we part

Oh I'll pawn you my gold watch and chain love
And I'll pawn you my gold wedding ring
I will pawn you this heart in my bosom
Only say that you'll love me again

Emmylou Harris was born in Birmingham, Alabama on April 2, 1947 to Walter and Eugenia Harris. She attended Garfield Senior High School where she graduated as Valedictorian. She then went to UNCG School of Music, Theatre & Dance at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro but dropped out to pursue her musical talents.

Emmylou married Tom Slocum in 1969, but this was a very short marriage as they divorced the following year. It was long enough, however, to produce a daughter, Mika Hallie Slocum, on March 15, 1970. In 1977 she married Brian Ahern and they were married roughly seven years. The couple had one daughter together, Meghann Theresa “M.T” Ahern, born September 9, 1979. In 1985, she married Paul Kennerley who she was married to until 1993.

The 5'5" singer-songwriter is known for songs such as “Beneath Still Waters”, “Together Again”, “Two More Bottles of Wine”.
