Left hand man 

I want to be a partner with you. Before medical science discovered how the circulatory system functioned, people believed that a vein ran directly from the fourth finger on the left hand to the heart.

That is why the fourth finger of the left hand is the ring finger, indicating commitment. In Jance's song I believe he is talking about wanting to marry someone.
