Ring Around My Neck

I still wear, the ring you gave me, right around my neck
On a rawhide cord, the gold feels warm, lying on my chest
You have gone but my love is strong and I cannot forget
I still wear the ring you gave me right around my neck

I pin my note, to the door, but I’m not going quite yet
I’m leaving soon, this afternoon, there’s time for one last check
This home we made, this place we stayed, filled my heart with hope
It’s empty now, has changed somehow, don’t feel like home no more

We said, those words “Till death do us part”
I guess, just me, took those words to heart

I’ll take this ring from my neck, in an envelope I’ll place
I’ll write your name, in my best hand and I’ll leave it somewhere safe
I’ll kick this chair from under me cos I’ve got nothing left
Your ring of gold is now a ring of rope tied around my neck
