I'm taking your ring from my left hand since you've made it plain we must part   But I'm placing it on my right hand    To show the world that I once possessed your heart   From left to right means goodbye oh what a small ring can do   I'm left with these heartaches but I'll always have the right kind of love for you   I'll wear it my darling forever tho' you did me wrong I'm not ashamed   When asked who's the giver the tears may fall but proudly I'll tell them your name   From left to right I've made the chance tho' the diamond still shines just as bright   As the day that you gave it and my love's as strong   Though I'm changing from left to right
