Tammy Wynette (May 5, 1942 – April 6, 1998) was an American country singer and songwriter. She was known as the "First Lady of Country Music" and one of her best-known songs was "Stand by Your Man," which was one of the biggest selling hit singles by a woman in the history of the music genre. Tammy Wynette was born Virginia Wynette Pugh near Tremont, Mississippi, the only child of William Hollis Pugh (died February 13, 1943) and Mildred Faye Russell (1922–1991). She was always called Wynette (pronounced Win-net), or Nettie, instead of Virginia. Her father was a farmer and local musician.

(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 thats for you,
Its not much, but its 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) its 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 its found a home
By itself (by itself) its 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 wont admit it,
But I know youre leavin town.
(g.j.)
She says, one things for certain,
I dont 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 thats dead and gone
By itself (by itself) its 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.
