I still recall the morning that I met you Standing down in Wilson's Fine and Dime Staring at the jewelry through the window Hungry for the things you couldn't buy Just like a fool I thought that I could please you I saw you had an eye for things that shine I paid seven sawmill dollars for a bracelet Just to satisfy your fourteen carat mind Laying by these railroad tracks in Denver With a hurting head and a half-pint of wine Everything except my soul has been surrendered Just to satisfy your fourteen carat mind The cabin that I built in West Virginia Just wasn't enough to keep you satisfied For a man that has a sawmill occupation Can't afford to feed a rich girl's appetite I wonder how it is with Willy Jackson Sometimes I wonder if he's still alive Oh Willy he gave up his wife and children Just to satisfy your fourteen carat mind Laying by these railroad tracks in Denver With a hurting head and a half a chug of wine Everything except my soul has been surrendered Just to satisfy your fourteen carat mind Just to satisfy your fourteen carat mind
