I used to think she was the greatest thing I really cared, gave her a diamond ring She said she'd rather die than ever leave me Well I never saw her face since then And if the law don't get her then I will Four little diamonds She must be somewhere on the open road She always said she was a lonely one She gets you down with her tales of woe She took me for everything And if the law don't get her then I will Four little diamonds I looked around I climbed up high into the dawn But she was gone with the night I thought about the things she said And all the things we'd done But where could she run- she ran away There's just no answer to give I keep wonderin' about her, day and night She probably thinks I was a fool- she's right She don't know it But I'm gonna keep on searchin' for that woman I'm gonna search everywhere And if the law don't get her then I will Four little diamonds I looked around I climbed up high into the dawn But she was gone with the night I thought about the things she said And all the things we'd done But where could she run- she ran away There's just no answer to give I still hear her callin' out to me I still listen for her endlessly But it never even crossed my mind she was a cheater I gotta find where she hides 'Cause if the law don't get her then I will Four little diamonds
