Locket Lyrics by Run Boy Run

Something to Someone

2014

When she goes walking through our town
Every head spins right around
She’s got long black hair
Baby blue eyes
Chirps like a bird with the sweetest smile
Got a locket in her pocket with her lover’s picture inside
She said, “Boys meet me at the edge of town
I’ve broken hearts of suitors, but now I’ll settle down
I’ve got a picture of the one I choose, and I’ll
Make the reveal this day when the sun is nearing noon.”
She’s got long black hair
Baby blue eyes
Chirps like a bird with the sweetest smile
Got a locket in her pocket with her lover’s picture inside
Well, they followed her the crowd of longing eyes
“Her dowry is the largest in the county, could be mine!”
Reached the meadow as the sun was high above
And held their breath as she removed her gloves
She said, “Now boys, my dowry’s all but gone
Squandered by my family before my time was come.”
Their jaws hung low as they scattered ’round
Only one left was young Thomas Brown!
And he’s waiting to see who the lover is pictured inside
He stepped forward and made his appeal
“I’ve loved you since the day we met, and now I’ll love you still.”
She opened the golden locket slowly
And Tommy’s face was staring all aglow
They’ve got an acre of land, a little white house
Not much money, but a beautiful life
