Bill Anderson - Peanuts And Diamonds Lyrics
(Bobby Braddock)On the poor side of Fort WorthIn a rundown motelA rodeo cowboyHeld a young Texas belle.He scooped up some peanutsRight out of the canAnd he whispered as he placed themIn the palm of her hand.Baby I wish they were diamondsAnd this was north DallasAnd I wish, oh I wish you were mineOh, I wish Lord, I wish you were mine.--- Instrumental ---On the north side of DallasIn a forty roomed houseShe remembers her cowboyAs she takes off her blouse.She fingers the diamondsThat cling to her breastHer teardrops fall freelyAs she looks to the west.And she says I wish they were peanutsAnd I wish this was CowtownAnd I wish, oh I wish he was mineOh, she cries Lord, I wish he was mine.Peanuts and diamonds sawdust and satinLone Star and sparklin' red wineCowboys and rich girlsJust don't live in the same world.And they both cryGod, I wish you were mineOh, I wishLord, I wish you were mine...
