  A lock of your hair        and a faded red ribbon
              A                       D    D
Is all I have left    to remind me of you
D                   D                        D
A lock of your hair   and a faded red ribbon
              A                      Bm   Bm
Is all I have left of a love we once knew
   D          A     A                   D     D
Is all I have left    of a love we once knew

I know I mistreated you     and you went away

You found somebody new      and now I must pay

Listen here boys         if you have a sweetheart
             A        A                    D    D
Show her you love her    and make her your wife


[Chorus]
D                        D                         D
For the lock of her hair   and a faded red ribbon
              A         A                       Bm  Bm7
Will make you unhappy      for the rest of your life

Will make you unhappy      for the rest of your life
