The Ring Song - The Petersens Original (LIVE)

It just doesn't get any cuter than this! Katie wrote "The Ring Song" while on a road trip with Ellen many years ago. She looked out the window at the moon and saw it had a pretty ring around it and the rest is history. Hope it brings a smile to your face! (Also, HOW ABOUT MOM ON THAT TRUMPET SOLO?!)

This is Katie's Tenor ukelele, she's also got a Baritone https://youtu.be/a8XXYgdA3k0

Location: Weddings at the Homestead https://weddingsatthehomestead.com
A beautiful, rustic wedding venue in Branson, Missouri. This time we filmed down in the holler, a beautiful open meadow surrounded by trees, complete with the original 1860s cabin and small running creek. This little spot feels like you are hundreds of miles from civilization!

►LYRICS - The Ring Song (a Katie Petersen original)
Well, there's a ring around the moon, a ring around the rosy*
A ring around my socks that keep my feet so cozy
Well, I'm a single woman and I don't need many things
So why don't my poor little finger got a ring

Well, once upon a time, turns out it's complicated
For Tommy Lee in second grade I waited and I waited
I wrote a note on Valentine's and said check yes or no
He crumpled up my paper so I punched him in the throat

There's a ring around the moon, a ring around the rosy
A ring around my socks that keep my feet so cozy
Well, I'm a single woman and I don't need many things
So why don't my poor little finger got a ring

Well, I bought a wedding dress just in case someone was looking
I practiced all my sewin' and I practiced on my cooking
I found a handsome guy who said he'd love me like no other
But sadly mama says it doesn't count since he's my brother

'Cause there's a ring around the moon, a ring around the rosy
A ring around my socks that keep my feet so cozy
Well, I'm a single woman and I don't need many things
So why don't my poor little finger got a ring

Well, I finally got a strategy and caught myself a man
I pepper sprayed his eyeballs and I threw him in my van
I took him to the church and when at last we heard the bells
He somehow got away and now I hope he goes to...

Well, there's a ring around the moon, a ring around the rosy
A ring around my socks that keep my feet so cozy
Well, I'm a single woman and I don't need many things
So why don't my poor little finger got a ring

* "Ring Around the Rosy" (or "Ring a Ring o' Roses") is an old nursery rhyme where children sing and dance in a circle. There is some debate but "rosy" is most likely a rosebush.
