Presley, Elvis - Wear My Ring Around Your Neck Lyrics
(Moody and Carroll)
Won't you wear my ring around your neck
To tell the world I'm yours, by heck
Let them see your love for me
And let them see by the ring around your neck
Won't you wear my ring around your neck
To tell the world I'm yours, by heck
Let them know I love you so
And let them no by the ring around your neck
They say that goin' steady is not the proper thing
They say that we're too young to know the meaning of a ring
I only know that I love you and that you love me too
So, darling, please do what I ask of you
To
ffb
tell the world I'm yours, by heck
Let them see your love for me
And let them see by the ring around your neck
Let them know I love you so
And let them know by the ring around your neck

Presley, Elvis Wear My Ring Around Your Neck Comments
Damn!!! I would have loved the making of this recorded session on film. Rock and Roll in the making here.
I love Elvis
The King Sings about a Ring.
Came from De Perfil by José Agustín
I heard this today on a cassette tape from 1991 made by my parents off the radio. The DJ actually said wear the ring around your neck without the chain! I guess his joke was inspired by the misunderstandings referred to by the comments here. Very interesting. Really zesty Elvis tune, was amazed to read it broke his string of #1's by hitting #2 (probably bad luck, ought to look up what was #1 then). I may have been born in the 60's but I agree Elvis will always be the King.
I received this 45, my first Elvis record, and a little red record player when I was 5 or 6 years old. I was hooked from then. I still have the record, all worn from the playing and playing. I will always love his soothing, comforting voice. 🌿🌹🌿
Lead singer of Deep Purple Ian Gillan said, "You know why Elvis will always be the king of rock and roll because he is the greatest singer that has ever lived"
This is a nice song, but I'm genuinely confused. Was a thing people did: wearing rings on a necklace chain? I've heard of wearing a boyfriend's fraternity pin or class ring, but I've never heard of wearing a boyfriend's or fiance's ring around your neck outside of Sex and the City (it was "closer to [her] heart this way"), and look how that turned out.
elvis forever 😁
The best of rock & Roll ELVIS 😉
I didnt have a ring so I gave you my ID bracelet
An Elvis classic, and a SERIOUS hot bass part too! A perfect combination! Bill Black REALLY cuts loose on bass on this!
I thought Elvis played Electric bass on this recording
I'm a Japanese Elvis fun.
Today, I arranged and sang this song on the piano.
Please try to watch my playing it.
This comment section is filled with a bunch of 40,50 year old women ranting about how passionate, amazing and moving this song is.
Why not add 80 year old women, like "you"?
Man..how i would have loved to ses Elvis.on tape performing this bad ass song....so raw i cant expanie....
1958 - Got to No.3 in the Charts.
"Well they say that going steady is not the proper thing/They say that we're too young to know the meaning of a ring..."
Thank you Bert Carroll & Russell Moody for such a great tune. I am very grateful to have known Bert Carroll, such a humble human being full of character. Forever gems and thank you for yours and Marty's songs I recorded for you Bert "L" Letesha Campbell.
I grew up with Elvis music! This is one of the first songs I learned to play on the drums!
descobri que essa musica Elvis cantou em maio de 1958. o ano em que nasci. foi maravilhoso. ganhei uma canção. Linda por sinal. bj ao King .
TCB 😍😍😍😇👍❤❤❤
Really didn't sound like Elvis till 0:46 then there was no mistake!
So supple, so full of authority, rebellion, pathos, passion, defiance; note and pitch perfect; Elvis Presley's voice was the spokesman for OUR generation - the post-War coming-of-age, Rebel-Without-A-Cause searchers of meaning, longing for love and hope in a new nuclear age where one misstep could spell extinction. Presley was our voice, our soul, our mentor, or musical Moses, delivering us to a new Promised Land "where the strong are just, and the weak secure, and the peace preserved."
Not just you, this was my childhood's music, and the first star I idolized, even though I was born around a decade later that Elvis died. You can thank my parents for it by playing it around the clock when I was a still a (small) child because they were of the Elvis generation (actually, they were more of the Beatles generation but we lived in the outskirts of Europe [to the west of the Iron Curtain - but still]).
linda música...
Just one of his singles from 1958 as it did the R&B singles chart for 3 weeks sold more than 2.5 Million copies in The US singles chart for him
Knock Knock little piggie i DO and it's made of jade??\\
White are the lyrics.?
un grande cosa dire.....
0.45 Best bit.
agreed.totally defines Elvis from all the others.no-one can ever replicate that edge when impersonating him.many have tried,but instantly you know that's not the real deal.peace to all.
1 of the songs i like most.... sounds like ´56 rockabilly ;)
Sounds more like doo wop rock on the chorus to me, btw...
1958 and you're both kinda right, music-style wise. :)
I remember those days when this song was released and many "old" people didn't know what it meant to wear a ring around your neck. They wondered how it would ever fit! In those times when a girl was going steady with a boy she would take his ring and put it on a chain which she wore around her neck. That meant he had laid claim to her and that she was off limits to all other guys who might be interested.
+Luigi Vampa You got it right. This was the goal if there was a girl you really cared for. I know I had one.
I remember those times
Luigi Vampa Wow,I didn't know that. Born in the 70s in Korea, I love Elvis. It's,actually, a music my father's, but I'm 'stuck on
his songs' .
Same here. As a young 10 year old kid, I couldn't understand how the girl could wear a "ring around her neck." A ring is much too small right? The neck is much too big right? I don't think wearing a ring on a chain or string was a custom yet in my 6th grade and I just didn't get it until much later. Great song though!
When I was little and first heard this song, I wondered the same thing
very nice !
...
Hes so baby faced! It looks so squishy >w<
Cricket are you actually going to do an uwu on an Elvis song
Awesome Dogs I was thinking the same thing. Also nice to see a recent comment instead of them all being from 4 years ago. Glad people are still listening to quality music.
BELEIVE ME HE LIVE AND WILL ALWAYS LIVE ...........FOR EVER ............
One good looking guy , we all miss you Elvis- DJ Jammin' Joyce - Warsaw , N.C.
R.I.P. ELVIS, U R MISSED !
A #2 hit for Elvis Presley. It also hit #1 on the Rhythm & Blues charts and #3 on the Country & Western charts. It would finish at #22 for the year, 1958. As we get closer to the top, you have to ask, will Elvis make it three in a row for the #1 song of the year? Or will someone else take the torch? As Casey Kasem always said, "Stay tuned."
I have this on my elvis record awesome song
Born in 57, my mom had this on a 45rpm and as a young child I wore this record out. I was still in elementary school the last time I heard it until about a year ago. I was surprised that I still remembered the loud drum fill in the last chorus right before I heard it again along with the guitar lick at the end. This is one of the many reasons I love You Tube, so many songs I thought I'd never hear again. :)
+Terry McKown Good comment.
a country rock hit. I love this song. In ELVIS we Trust.
No this called Doo wop style .... like the Everly brothers .
that style was beautiful ... start it at 1956 and it died in 1965 cause the ride of the bollok music that the Beatles and the rolling Stones used to sing
Yeah! One of my 429 favorites. I didn't particularly like this when I was 18 in 1963.... I used to sing it though.
I wore the ring on a chain.it was the greatest. I married someone else. But I had a crush on that boy. Back then I was hot stuff because of that ring. I loved to show it to the other girls.
You no good, dirty robbin' Maggie Mae.
C'mon Maggie Mae, I bet you're still hot stuff. Keep rockin'.
Your comment made my day.
I was only 10 when this came out. I had it on a 45 rpm record and knew the words by heart, but the concept of a "ring around your neck" always bothered me. How does one get it over your head? :=\ It took some years to realize it meant on a chain!
We did wear the ring around our neck. I wore my boyfriends ring around my neck . We all loved this song. I still do I am 69.
Taylor Allison Swift will be the flawless Queen of music 3 :-)
Cool guitar intro man.
lol they do, well rich kids cus class rings are expensive especially guys
I'm sure it hasnt been done in decades .... but in the 50's and 60's, guys would give their girls their senior high school rings, to show that they were going steady, and the girl would wear it on a chain, around their necks .... I dont know what the kids of today do ... lol...

Sing c,est la vie
there will always be just one KING!
But many pretenders
Oh. So she really is wearing his ring. A ring that he has worn on his finger. Not a ring that he got for her. This is not a custom that I'm familiar with.
haha ... it was worn on a chain, around the girls neck .... most guys rings are too big for the girls to wear them on their fingers ....
One member disliked, and that proves he has a bad taste in music.
I've murdered this song many a time on the karaoke, great tune!
Since when are rings worn around the neck?
yowzephyr in the 50s and 60s you would put it on a chain and wear it on your neck
Classic Elvis, in his cool days, before the Army got to him. God bless the original KIng!!!
@joewong73 Agreed ♥♥
!!! ELVIS PRESLEY FOREVER !!!
This is where an artist sings his heart out..........
this is music, this shit music from those days nothing is song real anymore, its all computer bullshit. BAH.
totally awesome song, long live the king
This is a good song
i think this is the first elvis song i ever heard
Like when the speed is increasing in this oh so cool rocker by El. ;O)
Adoro esta musica, me lembra quando morei numa cidade chamada Coronel Fabriciano e tinha 13 anos.
