(Boyle / Geo.Posford)
Lew Stone & His Band
Just another tragedy
Of a down and out I guess
For I'm selling the thing
That means everything to my life
And my happiness
I ask you to make me an offer
I don't know how much it will bring
It isn't a lot but it's all I've got
Who'll buy an old gold ring
It's know me as poor as a beggar
And it's known me as rich as a king
And it's known me in hell and in heaven as well
Who'll buy an old gold ring
Now ladies and gentlemen
I'm sentimental when I talk about my ring
Somebody wore it that's why I adore it
You know it's worth, pay me fairly for it
It's not just a six penny trinket
I am selling a beautiful thing
At the price of my tears
And my souvenirs
Who'll buy an old gold ring
