I went downtown to the jewelry store
Just a window shopping, that’s all
Lady asked me what I was lookin’ for
I said “a fella ‘bout six feet tall”
Wedding ring, gold & grand
Sure look purty on my left hand
Some man fickle, some man fair
Some man gonna put a wedding ring there
I oughta just find me a doctor type
To help me ring them wedding bells
Oh but leave it to me to loose my heart
To some good lookin’ ne’er do well
Wedding ring, gold & grand
Sure look purty on my left hand
Some man fickle, some man fair
Some man gonna put a wedding ring there
A girl’s obliged to make the most
Of what the Lord done gone and give her
No I ain’t just ribbons and pretty paper
This girl can gosh darn deliver
Now love’s like a rollercoaster I like to ride
And I like to ride full tilt
But mama say who’s gonna buy the cow
When they already got the milk?
Wedding ring, gold & grand
Sure look purty on my left hand
Some man fickle, some man fair
Some man gonna put a wedding ring there
Now girls, whatever you do tonight
Don’t you fall for the banjo player
No you may not see it by the candlelight
But you’re sure gonna see it later
Wedding ring, gold & grand
Sure look purty on my left hand
Some man fickle, some man fair
Some man gonna put a wedding ring there
