This golden ring's gonna make quite sure of my baby's heart
This golden ring's gonna make quite sure that we never part
It's so funny what a ring can do, make a girl just like you
Take a ride round town, looking for a wedding gown

This golden ring's gonna bring a little tear to my baby's eye
She's gonna be so happy and just like a woman she'll cry-iy-iy-iy
She will cry and I know, that no mater what the future will hold
It's gonna be, the two of us eternally

So I've got a ring for my baby
And I'm thinkin' pretty soon that maybe
That girl will be mine
I'm gonna have an angel divine
And everything is workin' out fine, so fine
Yeah fine, so fine

This golden ring's gonna make quite sure of my baby's heart
This golden ring's gonna make quite sure that we never part
It's so funny what a ring can do, make a girl just like you
Take a ride round town, looking for a wedding gown

This golden ring is all I have to give to you
But give me time my love to make your dreams come true
I’ve been a-savin' all my money
I’ve been working hard girl, only with you in mind

We got somehing more than money
We gotta a love that’s gonna last
It’s so funny what a ring can do, make a girl just like you
Take a ride downtown, searching for a wedding gown

So I've got a ring for my baby
And I'm thinkin' pretty soon that maybe
That girl will be mine
I'm gonna have an angel divine
And everything is workin' out fine, so fine
Yeah fine, so fine
