Back in 41 you met a brown eyed boy who called you pretty

He’d walk every day couple miles out of his way to hold your hand and keep you company

Your mama said don’t call it love at 14 but sitting on that front porch swing
(Chorus)

He gave you his picture in a locket that you wore around your neck
