George Jones ~ 'I Put A Golden Band' (The Right Left Hand)

Video: Live from Austin City Limits 1990
"The Right Left Hand" is a song written by Dennis Knutson and A.L. "Doodle" Owens, and recorded by American country music artist George Jones. It was released in January 1987 as the second single from his album Wine Colored Roses. The song peaked at number 8 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart. The song is about marriage; the narrator rejoices at putting "a golden band on the right left hand" after several failed marriages. Many interpreted the song as George's tribute to his fourth wife Nancy, whom he credited with saving his life and career. Jones would not see the Top 10 again until late 1988

Lyrics:
Sangtekster
I've cried a million tears,
Down through the years
Searching for that special one
And the vows I took before,
Were all forever more,
But no matter how I tried they came undone


Then the good Lord finally gave me
A true love of a lady,
Someone who believes in me
And she lets me know each day,
That love is here to stay
I finally found someone who'll never leave


I put a golden band on the right left hand this time,
And the right left hand put a golden band on mine
When our hair is snowy white,
Time will prove I'm right
I put a golden band on the right left hand this time


I'll never have to plead
For the love that my heart needs,

She'll be close enough to touch
And when the nights are long and cold,
She'll be there to hold,
All dressed up for one more night of love


I put a golden band on the right left hand this time,
And the right left hand put a golden band on mine
When our hair is snowy white,
Time will prove I'm right
I put a golden band on the right left hand this time
I put a golden band on the right left hand this time

Many years ago, driving across Texas in the wee hours of the morning, still dark, couldn't get my usual top 40 stations, so tuned in to a country station to keep me awake. And here it was, this great country song with such a succinct refrain. It made me laugh out loud when i first heard it, because i thought, "Wow, does that ever deliver a strong message in just a few words and clever turn of phrase." Still my favorite country song. Thanks for posting.👏😊👍
