Fourteen Karat Gold Lyrics - Hank Locklin

A chain of steel a wall of stone could not keep me from you 

But while your finger wears a ring of gold what can I do 

I'm burning up with love but still I'm left out in the cold 

Because you wear a yellow band of fourteen karat gold 

I never should have let my heart go roaming by itself 

But it gets awful lonesome when your heart sets on the shelf 

I should have tied it with a string so it could be controled 

To stay away from a yellow band of fourteen karat gold 

[ guitar - piano ] 

I realize that I was wrong that I was all to blame 

If there's a ring upon her finger never fan the flame 

I'm ready now to pay the price of loving much too bold 

A girl who wears a yellow band of fourteen karat gold
