Lyrics
By gregg allman and berry oakley Copyright 1972 unichappell music inc. and elijah blue music (bmi) 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
