Pete Seeger - [The Ring on My Finger Is] Johnny Give Me



The ring on my finger is Johnny, give me

The ring on my finger is Johnny, give me

The ring on my finger is Johnny, give me

Johnny alone until morning.


The shoes that I wear, they are Johnny, give me

The shoes that I wear, they are Johnny, give me

The shoes that I wear, they are Johnny, give me

Johnny alone until morning.


The dress that I wear is Johnny gives me

The dress that I wear is Johnny gives me

The dress that I wear is Johnny gives me

Johnny, alone until morning.


Johnny says that he loves me, but I do not believe

Johnny says that he loves me, but I do not believe

Johnny says that he loves me, but I do not believe

Johnny alone until morning.


  Try it again!


The ring on my finger is Johnny Gidley

The ring on my finger is Johnny Gidley

The ring on my finger is Johnny Gidley

Johnny alone until morning!

 

      "The Ring on My Finger" (often known as "Johnny") is a traditional Irish folk song about love, longing, and regret. It tells the story of a woman reflecting on a lost romance with Johnny, symbolized by a ring that still binds her emotionally. Though time has passed, her feelings remain strong, mixing nostalgia with sorrow. The song’s gentle melody and heartfelt lyrics capture themes of devotion, memory, and the enduring pain of love that never fully fades. Seeger belonged to the Old Left, I miss him much.
