George Glenn Jones was born on September 12, 1931, in Saratoga, Texas. He has been called “The Rolls Royce Of Country Music” and had more than 160 chart singles to his name from 1955 until his death in 2013. Johnny Cash once said, “When people ask me who my favorite country singer is, I say, ‘You mean besides George Jones?’” He achieved international fame for his long list of hit records, including his best-known song “He Stopped Loving Her Today”, as well as his distinctive voice and phrasing. For the last two decades of his life, Jones was frequently referred to as the greatest living country singer. The shape of his nose and facial features earned Jones the nickname “The Possum.”

Golden Ring Lyrics

In a pawn shop in Chicago on a sunny summer day
A couple gazes at the wedding rings there on display
She smiles an’ nods her head as he says, “Honey, that’s for you
It’s not much, but it’s the best that I can do”
Golden rings with one tiny little stone
(Golden ring)
Waiting there for someone to take you home
(Waiting there)
By itself, it’s just a cold metallic thing
(By itself)
Only love can make a golden wedding ring
In a little wedding chapel later on that afternoon
An old upright piano plays that old familiar tune
Tears roll down her cheeks and happy thoughts run through her head
As he whispers low, “With this ring, I thee wed”
Golden rings with one tiny little stone
(Golden ring)
Shining ring now at last it’s found a home
(Shining ring)
By itself, it’s just a cold metallic thing
(By itself)
Only love can make a golden wedding ring
In a small two room apartment as they fought their final round
He says, “You won’t admit it, but I know you’re leavin’ town”
She says, “One thing’s for certain, I don’t love you any more”
And throws down the ring as she walks out the door
Golden ring with one tiny little stone
(Golden ring)
Cast aside like the love that’s dead and gone
(Cast aside)
By itself, it’s just a cold metallic thing
(By itself)
Only love can make a golden wedding ring
In a pawn shop in Chicago on a sunny summer day
A couple gazes at the wedding rings there on display
Golden ring
