Greetings everyone! Our fiddle player was recently at a jam and a guy played a song and sang the first line, "When This Wedding Ring Was New". Does anyone have any idea the name of this tune or where we could get the song or tabs? Our fiddler thought it was an old fiddle tune back from the 30's or 40's. Perhaps someone out there in Mandoland has heard it and could shed alittle light? Blessings to you all on this Thanksgiving Day..Angelfire

Shades of night are falling
Bringing memories
Memories of a bygone day
Though it may be December
Though we're old and gray
To me you're still my blushing bride of May

When your old wedding ring was new
And each dream that we dreamed came true
I remember with pride how we stood side by side
What a beautiful picture you made as my bride
Even though silver crowns your hair
I can still see those gold ringlets there
Love's old flame is the same
As the day I changed your name
When your old wedding ring was new

When Your Old Wedding Ring Was New


When your old wedding ring was new
and the dreams that we dreamed came true
I remember with pride
when we stood side by side
what a beautiful picture
you made as my bride
Now although silver crowns your hair
I remember those gold ringlets there
Love's refrain still remains
as the day I changed your name
when your old wedding ring was new.

Singer..Jimmy Roselli
