[00:20.648]I recall once upon a time
[00:26.419]Livin' was so easy and I felt so fine
[00:32.433]My my my right before my very eyes
[00:38.756]Satan came with fire to burn me
[00:41.859]Wouldn't listen when they warned me
[00:45.039]A dagger in my back while she's callin' me honey
[00:47.717]Wouldn't stand back for neither love nor money
[00:58.175]Thirty minutes after my ship set sail
[01:03.923]She put up a sign and my house began to wail
[01:10.118]And why why why I couldn't see it in my little girl's eyes
[01:16.469]She had such a way to fool me Lord she had a way to fool me
[01:22.769]And I would ask the woman can you find it in yourself to please stand back
[01:27.876]You ain't gonna rule me
[01:35.524]Just when all began to fade
[01:38.661]I reached out threw the ace of spades
[01:41.852]I put her on a train to the everglades
[02:17.216]Now that it's all over and gone
[02:22.817]Somehow I just don't feel so alone
[02:29.071]But lie lie lie
[02:32.293]It seemed like such a waste of time
[02:35.399]She did not ever seem to know me
[02:38.609]But now it's much too late to show me
[02:41.794]But if I ever see that woman walkin' down the street I'll just stand back
[02:46.857]And try to move away slowly

I recall once upon a time
Livin' was so easy and I felt so fine
My my my right before my very eyes
Satan came with fire to burn me
Wouldn't listen when they warned me
A dagger in my back while she's callin' me honey
Wouldn't stand back for neither love nor money
Thirty minutes after my ship set sail
She put up a sign and my house began to wail
And 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
And I would ask the woman can you find it in yourself to please stand back
You ain't gonna rule me
Just when all began to fade
I reached out threw the ace of spades
I put her on a train to the everglades
Now that it's all over and gone
Somehow I just don't feel so alone
But lie lie lie
It seemed like such a waste of time
She did not ever seem to know me
But now it's much too late to show me
But if I ever see that woman walkin' down the street I'll just stand back
And try to move away slowly
