Lyrics

All kinds of people want all kinds of things
Some want money, some want diamond rings
Well, I fell in love with a millionaire's daughter
People in hell want icewater
Well, I asked for her hand; she said "go see my pa."
Well, I found him in the garden, said, "I'll be your son-in-law."
Even showed him the thirty-dollar ring that I bought her
He said, "people in hell want icewater."
Back under her window, I pulled out my rope
I said, "come on down baby, and we'll elope."
She climbed half-way, fell the rest, and I caught her
Sky was black and it rained icewater
Now the millionaire's daughter and me are living in a shack
Well, I work the mill all day; at night she dreams of goin' back
Well, I try to remember the first time I saw her
And the people in hell want icewater
Yes, I try to remember the first time I saw her
And the people in hell want icewater
Well, I try to remember the first time I saw her
And the people in hell want icewater
