The Broken Wedding Ring
Hank Snow

Capo 1

D                                    G               D
A cowboy with his sweetheart stood beneath a starlit sky
   G              D               E              A7
Tomorrow he was leaving for the lonesome prairie wide
     D                                   G              D
She said "I'll be your loving bride when you return someday"
     G           D             A7             D   
He handed her a broken ring and to her he did say

D                                         G                 D
"You'll find upon that ring sweetheart my name engraved in gold
    G                 D                A7                  D
And I shall keep the other half which bears your name you know."

                                             G                D
Three years had passed, he did not come, and Nell will wed tonight
      G             D                   E             A7
Her father said an Earl would make her happy home so bright
      D                                G                  D      
The lights were gaily glowing as they stood there side by side
G D A7 D D-A7-D "Let's drink a toast to this young man and to his lovely bride." D G D Just then there stood within the door a figure tall and slim G D E A7 A handsome cowboy was their guest and slowly he walked in D G D "I'll drink with you a toast." said he, and quickly in her glass G D A7 D He dropped his half of wedding ring, then anxiously he watched. D G D She tipped her glass and from her lips a ring fell shining bright G D E A7 The token she had longed to see lay there beneath the light D G D "Though years have been between us dear, love won our last long fight, G D A7 D It's you my cowboy sweetheart and my Jack I'll wed tonight." Outro: D-A7-D
