Plain gold ring on her finger she wore
it was where everyone could see
it belonged to someone, but not me
on her hand she wore a plain gold ring

plain gold ring's got a story to tell
it was one that i knew very well
in my heart it will never be spring
long as she wears that plain gold ring

when night time comes calling on me
i know why i will never be free
i can't stop these teardrops of mine, oh no
i'm gonna love her till the end of time

plain gold ring's got but one thing to say
i'm gonna love her till my dying day
in my heart it will never be spring
long as she wears that plain gold ring
