i gave my love a diamond
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..
