Them - I Gave My Love A Diamond lyrics

rate me

I gave my love a diamond, a ten cent stone<br />

I gave her lonely teardrops and nights alone<br />

I gave my love a promise that had no truth<br />

What good is a promise without no truth?<br />

<br />

I gave my love a fortune in silver and gold<br />

I gave it to her lie by lie by lie by lie that I had told<br />

I gave my love a story that had no end<br />

What good is a story that's got no end? Tell me<br />

<br />

I wrote her that we'd get married in about one year's time<br />

I wrote her in a boxcar on the memphis line<br />

I sent my love a letter without no stamp - ha<br />

And what good is a letter without no stamp?<br />

<br />

Goodbye baby<br />

I'm feelin' so alone I'm movin' on<br />

I ain't got no tall tale<br />

Don't call me - I'll call you<br />

See ya
