I think this song is about a girl who is a Hollywood's star. When she was in her prime, she had everything, fame, fans, jewelry (counting all the rings), luxury life. But when the curtains fall, that means when she's not famous anymore ("Once a valley doll, now you're not at all"). She started to learn the truth that she is nothing more than a just puppet that the producers used to make them rich. She only spoke and acted as the script they written and all the sweet words, promises they said to her before was simply a lie ("They all said they loved you (Didn’t they darlin’)"). And finally, when they can't used her anymore, they take all her things, fame, assets then kick her out ... When she is old and have no money. She must do " a little work" to get some money at her age. This song meaning is kinda like "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin. I wonder if they were inspired by it. Even their styles are a lot alike too.
