Credulous

I thought I’d be happy, once I was rich I thought I’d have the world by the tail But now I see I’m still down in the ditch I have to get out if my boat’s going to sail I hoped to be wiser by taking some advice I figured others knew more than I knew It resulted in paying a much higher price But like I was told, few know more than I do I’ve always been credulous as bloody hell Believing even the most outrageous tale Like the one about the diamond in a shell I have to get out if my boat’s going to sail
