PUT THAT RING ON MY FINGER
(Sunny Skylar / Ryan)

as recorded by The Andrews Sisters
with Vic Schoen & his Orchestra
September 4th 1945 New York


She loved him completely
In a true and endless way.
Though he loved her sweetly,
He would never name the day!
When she became impatient with the passin' of the years,
She'd look at him and cry through her tears;

Put that ring on my finger,
Buy that golden weddin' band!
Put that ring on my finger,
Put that piece o' paper in my hand!

If you're anxious to linger,
You will have to name the day!
Put that ring on my finger,
Go and get the license right away!

You make such beautiful speeches
And talk of a honeymoon ride.
Now let's hear one o' those preachers
And that song, "Here Comes The Bride"!

Put that ring on my finger,
Put that paper in my hand!
Put that ring on my finger,
Come and wrap me in a weddin' band!

You make such beautiful speeches,
Then talk of a honeymoon ride.
Now let's hear one o' those preachers
And that song, "Here Comes The Bride"!

Put that ring on my finger,
Put that, put that paper in my hand!
Put that ring on my finger,
Come and, come and wrap me in a weddin' band!
