(T.W.) 
In a pawn shop in Chicago 
On a sunny summer day 
A couple gazes at the wedding rings 
There on display 
 
(G.J) 
She smiles n' nods her head 
As he says, "Honey that's for you, 
It's not much, but it's the best 
That I can do." 
 
Chorus-both 
Golden rings (golden ring) with one tiny little stone 
Waiting there (waiting there) for someone to take you home 
By itself (by itself) it's just a cold metallic thing 
Only love can make a golden wedding ring 
 
(T.W.) 
In a little wedding chapel later on that afternoon 
An old upright piano plays that old familiar tune 
(G.J.) 
Tears roll down her cheeks 
And happy thoughts run through her head 
As he whispers low, "With this ring, I thee wed." 
 
Chorus- both 
Golden ring (golden ring) with one tiny little stone 
Shining ring (shining ring) now at last it's found a home 
By itself (by itself) Êit's just a cold metallic thing 
Only love can make a golden wedding ring 
 
Ooo-ooo 
 
(T.W.) 
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." 
 
(G.J.) 
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 
 
Chorus- both 
Golden ring (golden ring) with one tiny little stone 
Cast aside (cast aside) like the love that's dead and gone 
By itself (by itself) it's just a cold metallic thing 
Only love can make a golden wedding ring 
 
(Both) 
In a pawn shop in Chicago 
On a sunny summer day 
A couple gazes at the wedding rings 
There on display, 
Golden ring.
