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