The Ring
Billy Bridge
[Intro] [Verse] He went to wear with nothing but his courage and a ring 3 women placed it in his hand with love He held it tightly in his hand as he sailed off to war His angel looking down from up above It was with him when he landed on those barren foreign shores As the rats did storm the deserts of Tobruk He held it hidden safe away when shot by foreign guns As they locked him in that place that no one dared to look [Chorus] But he held that ring hidden hard against his skin So they could not take it away And he held that ring given hard against his heart ’cause he vowed he’d return again one day [Solo] x 2 [Verse] courage saw him take a chance to break out with his mates The ring was always so close to his heart So across the line to freedom heroes one and all To head back to this land and make a start He landed back on home soil she was waiting at the dock He held that band of gold so she could see That her gift had bought him courage love and luck and hope As she prayed it brought him home home across the sea [Chorus] But he held that ring hidden hard against his skin So they could not take it away And he held that ring given hard against his heart ’causehe vowed he’d return again one day And they still have that golden ring today [Outro] x 2
