George Jones F- Tammy Wynette Golden Ring Lyrics

Golden Ring Lyrics

(Bobby Braddock , Rafe VanHoy)

 

 (T.W.)

 In a pawn shop in Chicago

 On a sunny summer day

 A couple gazes at the wedding rings

 There on display

 

 (G.J)

 She smiles n' nods her head

 As he says, "Honey that's for you,

 It's not much, but it's the best

 That I can do."

 

 Chorus-both

 Golden rings (golden ring) with one tiny little stone

 Waiting there (waiting there) for someone to take you home

 By itself (by itself) it's just a cold metallic thing

 Only love can make a golden wedding ring

 

 (T.W.)

 In a little wedding chapel later on that afternoon

 An old upright piano plays that old familiar tune

 (G.J.)

 Tears roll down her cheeks

 And happy thoughts run through her head

 As he whispers low, "With this ring, I thee wed."

 

 Chorus- both

 Golden ring (golden ring) with one tiny little stone

 Shining ring (shining ring) now at last it's found a home

 By itself (by itself)  it's just a cold metallic thing

 Only love can make a golden wedding ring

 

 Ooo-ooo

 

 (T.W.)

 In a small two room apartment 

 As they fought their final round

 He says, "You won't admit it,

 But I know you're leavin' town."

 

 (G.J.)

 She says, "One thing's for certain,

 I don't love you any more."

 And throws down the ring

 As she walks out the door

 

 Chorus- both

 Golden ring (golden ring) with one tiny little stone

 Cast aside (cast aside) like the love that's dead and gone

 By itself (by itself) it's just a cold metallic thing

 Only love can make a golden wedding ring

 

 (Both)

 In a pawn shop in Chicago

 On a sunny summer day

 A couple gazes at the wedding rings

 There on display,

 Golden ring.
