Lyrics

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 would marry

In about, a-one years 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?

Good-bye baby

I'm feelin' so alone

I'm movin' on

I ain't got no small change

And don't call me, I'll call you

FADES-

See ya!
