Diamond Ring
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' isgonna shine
That old burlesque dancer is gonna b** 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
