The Ring Song - The Petersens (LIVE) - A Katie Original

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!

HOW ABOUT MOM ON THAT TRUMPET SOLO?! Mom played trumpet through school and college, then became the band mandolin player before switching to bass when Julianne started to learn.

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 likely a rosebush.
