Blackie & Rodeo Kings Lyrics
Willie's Diamond Joe Lyrics
(Willie P. Bennett)
Once I was a rich man,
A gambler was my game
�Til I saw her cool beauty
Inside her danced my flame
And I watched till my desire
Was turned from me to her
And she watched till I was blinded
And then she left me there
Give her diamonds for her fingers
And rhinestones for her hair
Give her dresses for her body
But don�t ever give her care
She�ll curse you and she�ll haunt you
And she�ll do it with a smile
Even when you�re on the long road
And been down it many a mile
I gave her all she needed
I loved her all I could
But she wanted more boys
And I never understood
And the times that I would leave her
I never could decide
Whether I was gone for good then
Or just for one last ride
Give her diamonds for her fingers
And rhinestones for her hair
Give her dresses for her body
But don�t ever give her care
She�ll curse you and she�ll haunt you
and she�ll do it with a smile
Even when you�re on the long road
And been down it many a mile
