But, if I ever see that woman walkin' down the street
Satan came with fire to burn me
She put up a sign and my house began to wail
But, my, my, my right before my very eyes
"Can you find it in yourself to please stand back?
And I would ask the woman
You ain't gonna rule me"
I reached out, threw the Ace of Spades
Just when all began to fade
I put her on a train to the Everglades
Now that it's all over and gone
Thirty minutes after my ship set sail
She did not ever seem to know me
But, lie, lie, lie it seemed like such a waste of time
A dagger in my back while she's calling me honey
Wouldn't stand back for neither love nor money
Wouldn't listen when they warned me
But, why, why, why I couldn't see it in my little girl's eyes?
She had such a way to fool me, Lord she had a way to fool me
Somehow I just don't feel so alone
But, now it's much too late to show me
