Orange Blossom Ring---The Klezmatics
   

    I loved a man so kind and sweet
　　And every night we used to meet
　　He gave to me my orange blossom ring.
　　He got in trouble down in town
　　The deputy sheriff shot him down
　　I wore his golden orange blossom ring.

　　'Twas on the night we were to wed
　　I got the news that he was dead
　　I thought of his orange blossom ring.
　　I drove to the place where he did lay
　　The last word that I heard him say
　　O' put away that orange blossom ring.

　　I would not have you live a life
　　Of loneliness and tears and strife
　　So put away my orange blossom ring.
　　Just because I'm dead and gone
　　I would not see you live alone
　　And dwell alone with an orange blossom ring.

　　Another lover I did meet
　　We're married now with children sweet
　　He gave to me an orange blossom ring.
　　Down through these years that we've been wed
　　I've never to my husband said
　　This is my second orange blossom ring

Orange Blossom Ring是The Klezmatics 的作品

The Klezmatics，这个乐团1985年在美国纽约成立，原来只包括Dave Lindsay (贝司), Rob Chavez (单簧管), Alicia Svigals (小提琴手)，随后The Klezmer Conservatory乐团小号演奏家Frank London 的加入，几周后Lorin Sklamberg (主唱, 手风琴), Margot Leverett (单簧管)和David Licht (鼓）的参加，进一步完善了乐团的音乐组织结构，并在随后不久受摇滚乐团The Plazmatics名字的启发而给乐团命名为The Klezmatics。 尽管The Klezmatics的音乐受4、50年代的Abe Ellstein和Dave Tarras的音乐作品的深刻影响，但这个乐团创作的东欧传统犹太音乐是非常接近Klezmer曲风的，他们的歌词因广泛涉及当时的政治和社会时事，做为一个急进的犹太传统乐团，形成了这个乐团独特的音乐标签。
