The first time I saw her

I knew what I wanted to do

She said that she loved me

And her love would always be true

But there was something about her smile

When I walked her down the aisle

And gave her

One golden ring

To make her happy



It worked for a year

Then the magic began to fade

Then she left with another

But I hate to see her poor heart break

She's gone and made the same mistake

She's got

Two golden rings

Around her finger



Hanging around

Hanging round the house all day

Hanging round the house all day



You do the washing

You do the ironing

You do the cleaning

You do your brains in

All the live long day



The last time I saw her

Her eyes were empty and cold

The magic had gone

And the years had tarnished the gold

She'd sold the house

And the rings as well

But the only one

She could never sell

Was my golden ring

Because my golden ring

Had made her happy
