I'll Give You a Lock of My Hair. Copyright, 1894. by Spaulding & Gray. Words and Music by George Trebel. 
Eyes so blue, heart so true, little maiden fair, To my heart you've brought much sorrow; If your heart i could but borrow, I would see if for me you a little care; If you love me, send to me a lock of your golden hair. 
Refrain. Shyly, thus she replied, "Oh! sir, do sir, pity my pride; If it you'll truly wear, then I will give you a lock of my hair." 
Lock of gold, what a hold you have on my life; Had I Eat the head that bore thee, How my heart would warm with glee, But far away she must stay, ne'er will be my wife; Still you loved me when you sent a lock of your golden hair. 
Refrain. When life's labor is past, when we've reached our goal at last. And when I meet you there, then I'll return you this lock of your hair.
