When my husband left me, he fled in the dead of night

Stars went black; empty bed, he stole clean out of sight

Wrote me a letter, said she'd done him better than I'd ever been

I got the gun and the silver bullet, cast off my diamond ring

Spilled me out into the street, saw her golden smile

Used me up, left me for dead, so I let my heart grow wild

Bones went dark; shot was sharp, black crow shook her wing

I got the gun and the silver bullet, cast off my diamond ring

Oh, you got me running

Oh, you got me running

Blood run red on a stone of grey, my soul steeped in sin

But I won't forget the day, like a jailbird I will sing

I got the gun and the silver bullet

I got the gun and the silver bullet

I got the gun and the silver bullet

I got the gun and the silver bullet

I got the gun and the silver bullet

I got the gun and the silver bullet

I got the gun and the silver bullet

Cast off my diamond ring
