(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 dont ever give her care Shell curse you and shell haunt you And shell do it with a smile Even when youre 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 dont ever give her care Shell curse you and shell haunt you and shell do it with a smile Even when youre on the long road And been down it many a mile Drums: Gary Ba**: John Organ: Richard Piano: John Whynot Acoustic Guitar: Tom Acoustic Guitar, Harmony: Stephen Electric Dobro, Lead Vocal: Colin Darryl Sterdan/Winnipeg Sun
