I Gave My Love a Diamond As recorded by Them (From the 1965 Album THE ANGRY YOUNG THEM) [Intro]           [Verse 1] I gave my love a diamond a ten cent stone I gave her lonely teardrops and nights alone I gave my love a promise that had no truth What good is a promise without no truth? [Interlude]     [Verse 2] I gave my love a fortune in silver and gold I gave it to her lie by lie by lie by lie that I had told I gave my love a story that had no end What good  is a story that’s got no end? Tell me.. [Interlude]           [Verse 3] I wrote her that we would marry In about a-one years time I wrote her in a boxcar on the Memphis Line I sent my love a letter  without no stamp ha And what good is a letter without no stamp? [Outro]    Good-bye baby I’m feelin’ so alone I’m movin’ on I ain’t got no small change And don’t call me I’ll call you See ya!
