The Ring

You've seen my love You've seen my child You've seen my fifty dollar make believe You've seen my car You've seen my place You can see that I've been truly blessed Well, you've seen me tame And you've seen me wild And you've seen me here As I wait for trial baby And you've seen my car And you've seen my place And you've seen the face for whom I sing the blues tonight One day they'll comfort you now baby There ain't an awful lot that you can do now darling The next day they'll come for me and you baby I told you so. I told you so Still the ring will shine through the dead of night I said I rub my eyes 'cause I can't sleep tonight baby And the cold outside is going to warm my vein And the way I feel I can't take more pain Well, you've seen my love And you've seen my child And you've seen my hundred dollar make believe And you've seen my car And you've seen my place You've seen the face for whom I made my blue disgrace One day they'll comfort you now baby There ain't an awful lot that you can do now darling The next day they'll come for me and you baby I told you so. I told you so They said the rubies shone From her bleeding nose I said the crowd was cold and couldn't care much more baby How can a love so bad turn to so much gain And I won't feel free until I taste morphine There will be a way I'll sign There will be a way I'll crawl Across Bluebeard's fire 'cause I can't take much more baby And the cold outside should be my best friend Makes me think of you and say let's make pretend You know the ring will shine through the dead of night We all want true love and not deceit and lies And they can call my name over hill and vale They can take me down and stick me in the jail baby But still the ring will whirl through the pouring rain And they can't kill love with a cold blade And the way to go is the way I run And it's two feet first I hear the starting gun You want to call my name in the black night But it won't be long before we fuss and fight And I've been there once and I've been there twice And I ain't been no place three times in my sweet short life You want to call my name in the black night But it won't be long before we fuss and fight And I've been there once and I've been there twice And I ain't been no place three times in my sweet short life
