| 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'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.
