Recorded by Bobby Bare
Written by Tom T. Hall
G B7 C G
I bought a ring and gave it to your daughter Mrs. Jones
D7
She promised me that she would be my wife
G B7 C G
But after she had talked to you she gave me back my ring
D7 G
Mrs. Jones your daughter cried all night
B7 C
Mrs. Jones your daughter cried all night
A7 D7
You wouldn't give your blessings to our love
G B7 C G
You said she should stop seeing me and maybe you are right
D7 G
But Mrs. Jones your daughter cried all night
B7 C G
Mrs. Jones some day some man may bring your daughter wealth
D7
And all the things that I could never buy
G B7 C G
But Mrs. Jones we love each other and wealth won't buy a love
D7 G
And I guess that's why your daughter cried all night
B7 C
Oh how I wish that I could be the man
A7 D7
Who has the wealth to win your daughter's hand
G B7 C G
You know her life is in your hands and you hold on so tight
D7 G
Mrs. Jones your daughter cried all night
