Just a ribbon

1-
He gave to me a silver ring
To wear upon my hand
But I turned away
And he heard me saying
"Oh!he doesn't, he doesn't understand"

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

2-
He gave me two golden hearts
To wear upon my ears
But I turned from him
So he could not see
My eyes, my eyes were filled with tears

3-
He tought I was unhappy
But he could not fight no more
So he bought me just a ribbon
For a penny at the store

4-
He bought me just a ribbon blue
To wear in my hair
Then I pressed my lips
To his fingerstips,
Saying "Now, now I know you care

I don't need riches to make me care
