| I bought a ring and gave it to your daughter Mrs Jones
|
| She promised me that she would be my wife
|
| But after she had talked to you she gave me back my ring
|
| Mrs Jones your daughter cried all night
|
| Mrs Jones your daughter cried all night you wouldn’t give your blessings to our
|
| love
|
| You said she should stop seeing me and maybe you are right
|
| But Mrs Jones your daughter cried all night
|
| Mrs Jones some day some man may bring your daughter wealth
|
| And all the things that I could never buy
|
| But Mrs Jones we love each other and wealth won’t buy a love
|
| And I guess that’s why your daughter cried all night
|
| Oh how I wish that I could be the man
|
| Who has the wealth to win your daughter’s hand
|
| You know her life is in your hands and you hold on so tight
|
| Mrs Jones your daughter cried all night
|
| Mrs Jones your daughter… |
