|
I gave my love a diamond, a ten cent stone |
|
I gave her lonely teardrops and nights alone |
|
I gave my love a promise that had no truth |
|
What good is a promise without no truth? |
|
I gave my love a fortune in silver and gold |
|
I gave it to her lie by lie by lie by lie that I had told |
|
I gave my love a story that had no end |
|
What good is a story that's got no end? Tell me |
|
I wrote her that we'd get married in about one year's time |
|
I wrote her in a boxcar on the memphis line |
|
I sent my love a letter without no stamp - ha |
|
And what good is a letter without no stamp? |
|
Goodbye baby |
|
I'm feelin' so alone I'm movin' on |
|
I ain't got no tall tale |
|
Don't call me - I'll call you |
|
See ya |
