Lyrics
I gave my love a diamond, a ten cent stone
I gave her lonely teardrops and nights alone
Gave my love a promise that had no truth
What good is a promise without no truth?
Gave my love a fortune in silver and gold
I gave it to her a lie, a lie, a lie that I had told
Yes I give my love a story about how I know it
But what good is a story that's got no end?
I wrote her that we would marry in about a-one year's time
I wrote it in a boxcar on the Memphis line
I sent my love that letter without no stamp
What good is a letter without no stamp?
Goodbye, so long
I gotta, I'll make it all by myself
Don't call me, I'll call you
Ain't got no small change, honey
