CG7C
I still recall the morning that I met you
FC
Standing out in front of Wilson's five and dime
AmF
Staring through the window at the jewelry
DG7
Hungry for the things you couldn't buy
CG7C
Just like a fool I thought that I could please you
C7F
I saw you had an eye for things that shine
C
I paid seven saw mill dollars for a bracelet
G7C
Just to satisfy your fourteen carat mind.
CHORUS
AmF
Layin' by these railroad tracks in Denver
CG7
With a hurtin' head and a half a pint of wine
AmF
Every- thing except my soul has been sur- rendered
CG7C
Just to satisfy your fourteen carat mind.
The cabin that I built in West Virginia
Was not enough to keep you satisfied
'Cause a man that's got a saw mill occupation
Can't afford to feed a rich girls' appetite
I wonder if you're still with Willie Jackson
Sometimes I wonder if he's still alive
Ol' Willie he gave up his wife and children
Just to satisfy your fourteen carat mind.
CHORUS
