Bseed,

You listed "She Got The Ring and I Got The Finger." I remember this as "I Gave Her the Ring, and She Gave Me the Finger." A semi-local band, Bottlehill, did this one. The banjo player Walt Michael has gone on to bigger and better things, a wonderful hammered dulcimer player.

But I posted so I could get the chorus for this song out of my head and onto paper.

I gave her the ring,
And she gave me the finger.
And that finger stinger lingers,
Like a ringer 'round my heart.

You just had to bring that song up, didn't you.
