I've never wanted wealth untold
My life has one design;
A simple little band of gold
To prove that you are mine

Don't want the world to have and hold
For fame is not my line
Just want a little band of gold
To prove that you are mine

Some sale away to Araby
And other lands of mystery
But all the wonders that they see
Will never tempt me

Their memories will soon grow cold
But till the end of time
I'll have a little band of gold
To prove that you are mine

But all the wonders that they see
Will never tempt me

Their memories will soon grow cold
But till the end of time
I'll have a little band of gold
To prove that you are mine
