"Little Ole Band Of Gold" lyrics

Little old band of gold, you're back again with me
Instead of on her finger where you used to be
She left you on the table right beside her note
Oh, tell me, did she smile or cry at what she wrote?

Did someone win her heart while I was out of town?
Did she keep you in her pocket when I wasn't around?
If you could speak, this mystery might then unfold
Please help me understand it, band of gold

Little old band of gold, you know how much I care
As you can see, I wasn't very well prepared
There seems to be a lot of things I wasn't told
Now, there's just you and me, old band of gold

Did someone win her heart while I was out of town?
Did she keep you in her pocket when I wasn't around?
If you could speak, this mystery might then unfold
Please help me understand it, band of gold
