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
But 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 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
