When my husband left he
He fled in the dead of night
Stars went black, empty bed
He stole clean out of sight.
Wrote me a letter
Said she'd done him better
Than I'd ever been
I got the gun and silver bullet
Cast off my diamond rings
Spilled me our into the street
Saw the golden smile
Used me up
Left for dead
So I let me heart grow wild
Bones went dark
Shot was sharp
Black crow shook her wing
I got the gun and the silver bullet
Cast off my diamond ring
Oh, you got me running
Blood run red on a stone of grey
My soul steeped in sin
But I won't forget the day,
Like a jailbird I will sing
I got the gun and the silver bullet
I got the gun and the silver bullet
I got the gun and the silver bullet
Cast off my diamond ring
