[G] Irene took that old brass ring, she bought at the rummage sale. [C] Shined it up and slipped it over the [G] moon.
\n[G] Now it hangs like the kitchen light, she won’t turn it out at night, [D] \u2018Til the old man’s sleeping and the [C] last kid [D] has come [G] home.<\/p>\n

[G] Irene has a fruitcake tin she keeps her odd buttons in,
\n[C] Some she let me take and some I stole,
\n[G] What she swears is some old rhinestone thing, I know to be a diamond ring
\n[D] And I will have myself a piece of [C] all of [D] Irene’s [G] gold.<\/p>\n
