GJust a Clittle box all covered with Gblossoms white as snow
CChinese red and Gmade of brass that he A7gave her long Dago
Like the Gred dirt Oklahoma hills and the Cspringtime flowering trees
That she Gkept with all the love they shared Dinside her Gmemories
Verse
She Dgot it from her captain when he Csailed around the Ghorn
CBringing gifts from GChina to their DOklahoma home
There were Gfancy silks and carved wood chests from the Cplaces he had gone
She kept them Gall until she died but this Dwas her favourite Gone
Chorus
Just a Clittle box all covered with Gblossoms white as snow
CChinese red and Gmade of brass that he A7gave her long Dago
Like the Gred dirt Oklahoma hills and the Cspringtime flowering trees
That she Gkept with all the love they shared Dinside her Gmemories D G
Verse
And she Dkept it on her dresser filled with Cgold and silver Grings
CNecklaces of Gturquoise Dbeads and other things
It Gfilled her heart with the mystery and the Cmagic of the day
When he Ggave it to her for her own in his Dquiet loving Gway
Verse
Ten Dyears they spent together he'd come Chome and then he'd Gleave
COne day while she Gwaited Dhe disappeared at sea
GNo one knew how she called his name to the Csilent rocks and stones
Or how she'd Gsit and hold that little box so she Dwould not feel Galone
Chorus
Just a Clittle box all covered with Gblossoms white as snow
CChinese red and Gmade of brass that he A7gave her long Dago
Like the Gred dirt Oklahoma hills and the Cspringtime flowering trees
That she Gkept with all the love they shared Dinside her Gmemories

Verse
No she Dnever was a dancer or Cwrote a fancy Gline
The Ctreasures of her Glife were the Dthings she left behind
They Gburied her without them where the Cprairie grasses grow
In GChina or a woman's heart there are Dplaces no one Gknows
Chorus
Just a Clittle box all covered with Gblossoms white as snow

They buried her without them where the Cprairie grasses grow
In GChina or a woman's heart there are Dplaces no one Gknows
