"Diamond Ring" lyrics - THE NEW BASEMENT TAPES
If I ever get back to St. Louis again,
There's gonna be some changes made
I'm gonna find old Alice and right away where I left off
It's gonna be just as if I stayed
That old organ grinder's gonna wind his box
And the knife sharpener's gonna sing
When I get back to St. Louis again
I'm gonna buy that diamond ring
Diamond Ring
Diamond Ring
Shine like gold
Behold that diamond ring
If I ever get back to St. Louis again
Everybody's gonna smile
One of the Mack girls dragged me up to Washington
I got stuck there for a while
She gave me more misery than a man can hold
And I took her bad advice
Now I don't aim to bother anyone
I have paid that awful price
Diamond Ring
Diamond Ring
Shine like gold
Behold that diamond ring
If ever I get back to St. Louis again
That diamond ring' is gonna shine
That old burlesque dancer is gonna bum around
And everything's gonna be fine
I'm gonna settle up my accounts with lead
And leave the rest up to the law
Then I'm gonna marry the one I love
And head out for Wichita
Diamond Ring
Diamond Ring
Shine like gold
Behold that diamond ring
