about

(trad arr Byrne & Devine)

lyrics

My sweet heart told me, she wanted a diamond ring
My sweet heart told me, she wanted a diamond ring
Oh, yes my love, I get most anything

Got myself a pistol, it was a forty-four
Got myself a pistol, it was a forty-four
Cos to get that diamond ring, I had to rob a jewellery store

Police done caught me, carried me to the country jail
Police done caught me, carried me to the country jail
Had to send for my lover, please come and pay my bail

Ma baby come to see me, my fate she could not see
Ma baby come to see me, my fate she could not see
She said, ‘Please Mister Jailer, give him this note for me’

I was there to see you, I could not see your face
I come there to see you, I could not see your face
And although I love you, I just can' take your play
