I've never wanted wealth untold My life has one design A simple little band of gold To prove that you are mine Don't want the world to have and hold For fame is not my line Just want a little band of gold To prove that you are mine Some sail away to Araby And other lands of mystery But all the wonders that they see Will never tempt me Their memories will soon grow cold But 'til the end of time There'll be a little band of gold To prove that you are mine Don't want the world to have and hold For fame is not my line Just want a little band of gold To prove that you are mine (Band of gold)
