This is-- I work with a lot of hymns and ballads
and sort of refigure them-- this is to the tune of "What
Wondrous Love Is This."
You might know that has Celtic origins,
and they were originally love songs--
these hymns, so I took it back to the love song.
"3 Rings."
Oh, sorry.
"Once I had a garnet ring, garnet ring,
garnet ring set in a thin, gold band, garnet ring.
My father gave it me, it was not to be,
for I broke it with a twig underneath, underneath.
I broke it with a twig underneath.
Then my mother gave to me, gave to me,
gave to me a silver dogwood ring from a tree.
It has petals four, I wear forevermore
on my right hand for all to see.
The love I thought was true, ne'er
gave me, ne'er gave me a ring of earth nor sea, earth nor sea.
Instead he gave to me, three things I cannot see.
And they ring inside of me, O my soul, O my soul.
They sing inside of me, O my soul."
