I recall once upon a time
Livin was so easy and I felt so fine
But my my my right before my very eyes
Satan came with fire to burn me
Wouldn't listen when they warned me
A dagger in my back while she's calling me honey
Wouldn't stand back for neither love nor money
Thirty minutes after my ship set sail
She put up a sign and my house began to wail
But why why why I couldn't see it in my little girl's eyes
She had such a way to fool me Lord she had a way to fool me
And I would ask the woman
Can you find it in yourself to please stand back
You ain't gonna rule me
Just when all began to fade
I reached out threw the Ace of Spades
I put her on a train to the Everglades
Now that it's all over and gone
Somehow I just don't feel so alone
But lie lie lie it seemed like such a waste of time
She did not ever seem to know me
But now it's much too late to show me
But if I ever see that woman walkin down the street I'll just stand back
And try to move away slowly
Oh yeah
