Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My baby wants a diamond ring
My baby wants a diamond ring
I can't afford that diamond no more
My baby wants a diamond ring
[Verse 2]
My baby wants a string of pearls
My baby wants a string of pearls
Gotta get on that track and make them dollar fast
My baby wants a string of pearls
My baby wants a string of pearls
[Verse 3]
That gold is gonna be mine
That gold is gonna be mine
With a pistol in my hand, gonna get it where I can
That gold is gonna be mine
That gold is gonna be mine
[Verse 4]
Old William has a stash of gold
Old William has a stash of gold
So I went to his place with my pistol and my grace
Old William has a stash of gold
Old William has a stash of gold
[Verse 5]
That gold is gonna be mine
That gold is gonna be mine
With a pistol in my hand, gonna get it where I can
Old William has a stash of gold
Old William has a stash of gold
[Verse 6]
Old William has a stash of gold
Old William has a stash of gold
[Verse 7]
That gold is gonna be mine
That gold is gonna be mine
With a pistol in my hand, gonna get it where I can
Old William has a stash of gold
Old William has a stash of gold
Old William has a stash of gold
[Verse 8]
Baby wants a diamond
Baby wants a diamond
Baby wants a diamond
Baby wants a diamond ring
[Verse 9]
Baby wants a diamond
Baby wants a diamond
Baby wants a diamond
Baby wants a diamond ring
[Verse 10]
Baby wants a diamond
Baby wants a diamond
Baby wants a diamond
Baby wants a diamond ring
[Verse 11]
Baby wants a diamond
Baby wants a diamond
Baby wants a diamond
Baby wants a diamond
