I bought my love a silver ring
To wear upon her hand
But she turned away
And I heard her said
He doesn't, understand

I don't need riches to make me care
Just a ribbon for my hair

I bought my love two golden hearts
To wear upon her ears
But she turned from me
So I could not see
Her eyes, were filled with tears

I don't need riches to make me care
Just a ribbon for my hair

I tought she was unhappy
But I couldn't fought no more
So I bought her just a ribbon
For a penny at the store

I bought her just a ribbon blue
To wear in her hair+
Then she pressed her lips
To my fingerstips
Saying: Now, I know you care

I don't need riches to make me care
Just a ribbon for my hair
Just a ribbon for my hair
