I Gave My Love a Diamond 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
