1- |
|
He gave to me a silver ring |
|
To wear upon my hand |
|
But I turned away |
|
And he heard me saying |
|
"Oh!he doesn't, he doesn't understand" |
|
Refrain |
|
I don't need riches to make me care |
|
Just a ribbon for my hair |
|
2- |
|
He gave me two golden hearts |
|
To wear upon my ears |
|
But I turned from him |
|
So he could not see |
|
My eyes, my eyes were filled with tears |
|
3- |
|
He tought I was unhappy |
|
But he could not fight no more |
|
So he bought me just a ribbon |
|
For a penny at the store |
|
4- |
|
He bought me just a ribbon blue |
|
To wear in my hair |
|
Then I pressed my lips |
|
To his fingerstips, |
|
Saying "Now, now I know you care |
|
I don't need riches to make me care |
