[1st verse:]
Spooning and crooning they sit
Loving it quite a bit
Telling lies by the pack
See him steal a kiss from the pretty miss
Watch him put it back, smack!
"Honey, oh, honey, I swear
By my hair that I care
For nobody but you
Can't you tell the way I woo
That I love you, love you true?"
Then the maiden sings this chorus old
But sings it, oh, so new
[Refrain:]
Bring me a ring in the Spring
And I'll know that you love me
A simple band of gold
Just like your father gave your mother in the days of old
Say what you may, what you say
Doesn't mean that you love me
So if you want me to
Love you true
Bring me a ring in the Spring
And I'll know that you love me
[2nd verse:]
"Whispering nothings, my dear
In my ear when I'm near
Is as sweet as can be
But I sit and grieve when you have to leave
That's what worries me, see!
When I'm just bathing in woe
Don't you know that my beau
Should be right by my side?
Then again I've tried and tried
To become a blushing bride
If you love me, tie it with a knot
That cannot be untied"
