Текст песни: Ten Dollar Ring + перевод

I came back to town for the wedding

The last of the Stephenson brides

The talk died down to a whisper when they let me inside

I saw you there at the table

You smiled and you waved your right hand

Then they called for a toast and they all raised their glasses again

And there’s a ten dollar ring on your finger

There’s a five dollar ring in my hand

There’s a ten dollar ring on your finger

And that five dollar ring went back in my pocket again

I almost laughed when I saw you

In that suit that you borrowed from John

The pants are too short and the sleeves are a little too long

I only smiled but I tell you

That I really wanted to cry

Cause I’m here at this table with somebody else by my side

There’s a ten dollar ring on my finger

Cause you never asked for my hand

There’s a ten dollar ring on my finger

Cause I never thought that I’d ever see you again

No need to impress

Just a second hand dress

And something that’s borrowed or blue

It’d be all right

If you didn’t wear white

As long as I’m there next to you

I left right after the wedding

And I didn’t say anything

Then I went to the river and I threw in that five dollar ring

I looked for you the whole damn evening

So much that I wanted to say

But whenever I need you, baby, you just run away

There’s a ten dollar ring on my finger

And you didn’t even shake my hand

There’s a five dollar ring in the river

And believe me, my darling, you’ll never see me again
