3
I recall once upon a time,
4
Livin was so easy and I felt so fine.
5
But, my, my, my right before my very eyes,
6
Satan came with fire to burn me,
7
Wouldn't listen when they warned me.
8
A dagger in my back while she's calling me honey,
9
Wouldn't stand back, for neither love nor money.
10
Thirty minutes after my ship set sail,
11
She put up a sign and my house began to wail.
12
But, why, why, why I couldn't see it in my little girl's eyes?
13
She had such a way to fool me, Lord she had a way to fool me.
14
And I would ask the woman, "Can you find it in yourself to please stand back?
15
You ain't gonna rule me."
16
Just when all began to fade,
17
I reached out, threw the Ace of Spades.
18
I put her on a train to the Everglades.
19
Now that it's all over and gone,
20
Somehow I just don't feel so alone.
21
But, lie, lie, lie it seemed like such a waste of time.
22
She did not ever seem to know me,
23
But, now it's much too late to show me.
24
But, if I ever see that woman walkin down the street I'll just stand back,
25
And try to move away slowly.
26
Oh, yeah.
