The Ring my Mother wore...CAN ANYONE HELP??

[Kloot]

Does anyone know who sang this song. It's a fairly old one!! My friends Gran sings it and she doesn't know who sang it in her day and we're trying to get a copy of it for her! I think we're talking 1930's/40's.........Please help if you can. :)

Seems to be a Gaelic folk song.

The words are as below:

The Ring My Mother Wore

Though earth holds many treasures rare,
Of gems and gold in store
My heart holds one more precious far,
The ring my mother wore.

I saw it first when I a child,
Was playing by her side
She told me then 'twas Father's gift,
When she became his bride.

The years have come, the years have gone,
Earth's dearest ties are riven,
Still I behold that band of gold,
A link 'twixt earth and heaven.

I keep it as a token now,
Of happy days of yore,
The dearest thing on earth I vow,
The ring my mother wore.
