It's thought that it may refer to two famous courtesans at the time of King Charles II (a courtesan was basically a high-class prostitute whose clients were restricted to royalty, nobility and high-ranking officials).

Various women have been identified with Lucy Locket and Kitty Fisher, but there's no actual evidence to back up that they were the women in the song. Lucy Locket was a character who appeared in John Gay's The Beggar's Opera written in 1728, and Kitty Fisher may refer to Catherine Marie Fischer, a courtesan who died in 1767 and was painted by Joshua Reynolds.

Lucy's loss of her locket, and Kitty's finding of it only to discover that it's empty, may be a jibe at Lucy having fallen out of favour with a long-term client.
