This Ol' Diamond Ring

Can you hear me Lord Almighty
My name is Simple Jim
I know I ain't no angel
But please just listen in

I walked upon the surface
I roamed across The Earth
And I quite enjoyed it all
For what it's worth

I've had my share of fortune
I've taste rum and gin
I've seen a one armed stripper play the violin

But still there's something missing
There's just one little thing
There seems to be no finger in this ring

This ol' diamond ring
Yeah, this ol' diamond ring
There seems to be no finger in this old diamond ring
This ol' diamond ring
Yeah, this ol' diamond ring
There seems to be no finger in this ring

I got it from a lady
My friends they calld her ma'
She lived in a place called Brothel
Just outside the law

I grew up in her shadow
A place so cold and dark
But you start the greatest fire with a spark

This ol' diamond ring
Yeah, this ol' diamond ring
There seems to be no finger in this old diamond ring
This ol' diamond ring
Yeah, this ol' diamond ring
There seems to be no finger in this ring

Yeah, this ol' diamond ring
Yeah, this ol' diamond ring
There seems to be no finger in this ring
