Diane

Intro (x2) verse 1 And oh Diane, Diana darlin', Diana dear You were like a lighthouse shinin' bright And I was some lost sailor in the night And oh me, oh me oh my-oh, oh me poor boy I fell for Diana like a child Her ways were always free and wild Bridge 1 Men came from miles and miles They all shined in your eyes Sweet Diane, the queen of the brothel And I'm just Thomas Russell Instrumental (x2) verse 2 Oh Diane, I'll plow the land, I'll be your man I ain't like all these other fools And I'd do most anything to prove Oh Tom, oh Tommy boy, oh Thomas dear There is one thing that you can satisfy Kill that old bastard Sheriff Clyde Bridge 2 He takes my horse for free He scares away the thieves Kill him with the lead from your pistol Won't you, Thomas Russell? Instrumental (x2) verse 3 Oh Sheriff Clyde, known for his fight and drunken rage I followed him into the dark I emptied my Colt into his heart And oh Diane, I've done your deed, you're mine to keep Now that I've fulfilled your desires So we rolled around for a while Instrumental (x2) verse 4 Under the morn, the door kicks in, with sickly grins Three rangers step in and I shiver They hand Diana 30 coins of silver Bridge 3 And the whole town's arrived To watch me hangin' high Except sweet Diane, the queen of the brothel Tricked old Thomas Russell verse 4 And oh Diane, Diana darlin', Diana dear Now I'm just an ember in your fire Stoked of only men with cruel desires
