I loved a man so kind and sweet And every night we used to meet He gave to me my orange blossom ring. He got in trouble down in town The deputy sheriff shot him down I wore his golden orange blossom ring. 'Twas on the night we were to wed I got the news that he was dead I thought of his orange blossom ring. I drove to the place where he did lay The last word that I heard him say O' put away that orange blossom ring. I would not have you live a life Of loneliness and tears and strife So put away my orange blossom ring. Just because I'm dead and gone I would not see you live alone And dwell alone with an orange blossom ring. Another lover I did meet We're married now with children sweet He gave to me an orange blossom ring. Down through these years that we've been wed I've never to my husband said This is my second orange blossom ring. Aus Songtexte Mania
