Guardian Angel Ring Lyrics

A maiden came upon a fortune teller

Whose prophecies were served with a sting

The maiden handed over her last dollar

And she was given a guardian angel ring

The red stone will warn of grave danger

The blue stone will celebrate true love

Each stone in the ring will fall out

To impart divine knowledge from above

Her woes sent her scrounging up pennies

There were times in which she did reckless things

She looked down at her hand before each venture

To find both stones in the guardian angel ring

The maiden met a man outside a barroom

His rowdiness paired well with his gentle eyes

It wasn't long before they planned their wedding

He proposed after having her sip his potent wine

Come summertime, they were married at the altar

They said their vows as the choir began to sing

Slipped on their wedding bands and head to the shore

The new bride buried her guardian angel ring

A year passed and a raven flew to the coast

He dropped a rusted ring by the shore line

Sand piled into the lonesome caverns

Where two omniscient stones used to reside

This ring ain't gold, this ring ain't silver

But it will save your life if you yield to the superstition

This ring ain't worth a dime at the pawn shop

But when it speaks, you know you better listen
