The Little Purse

I have a little purse,
To keep
The sorrows and troubles,
That I am going through.

But one day,
But one day,
I open the little purse
And find it empty.

All men have,
In their hat,
A sign that says:
I want to get married.

But one day,
But one day,
I open the little purse and
Find it empty.

All girls have,
In their dress,
A sign that says:
I want a husband.

They say it's necessary,
But it's not,
What I've never had,
I don't miss.

But one day,
But one day,
I open the little purse
And find it empty.
