She took the ring off a dead man's finger, she took the ring
She took the ring off a dead man's finger, she took the ring
He was a famous man but he was brought down
By an autograph seeker with a loaded gun
So they wheeled him in, they pronounced him gone
And only for a moment, they were alone in the room
She took the ring off a dead man's finger, she took the ring
She took the ring off a dead man's finger, she took the ring
Well, she had to think fast, she had to decide
Should they bury it with him or give it back to his wife?
Or would he want her to have it?
Oh, he might very well
It could sent her son to college or keep him out of jail
She took the ring off a dead man's finger, she took the ring
She took the ring off a dead man's finger, she took the ring
Well, she lifted up his hand and slipped the ring off
Dropped it in the pocket of her little white smock
What did it matter, would he miss it that much?
After all she was exited and a little shaken up
She'd always admired him, if only from afar
It's not every day you get to meet a superstar
She took the ring off a dead man's finger, she took the ring
She took the ring off a dead man's finger, she took the ring
She took the ring off a dead man's finger, she took the ring
She took the ring off a dead man's finger, she took the ring
