Albert Steeze - Singin' Heartache Lyrics

There is a girl, just down the road
Her singin' makes me smile
Every seed that she sowed
Would turn green and wild
But her mind was on diamonds
And in my hand was dirt
I couldn't stop her cryin'
As we returned to Earth
I wondered further down the road
To a place that seemed forgiving
There I met some honest folk
They had a tougher living
How I tried to find her
A beauty in this land
But all this town could offer
Was the joy of labouring
I grabbed my sluice and headed south
Off to search for gold
Somethin' took me by the hand
My eyes could scarce behold
A man stopped me in my tracks
He had bad news for me
He wanted everything thing I had
And more, would you believe?
I gave him everything I had
He cared not for my hurt
Since he was so damn polite
I gave him my fist of dirt
I threw that dust in his eyes
And took him by the neck
I told him he won't leave alive
He became a nervous wreck
The fella had a diamond ring
He was savin' for his wife
It truly was a pretty thing
He traded for his life
Now I'm headed up the road
To find that singin' girl
I hope she hasn't changed her mind
And decided she wants pearls.
