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
Though 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…
