Lyrics

Up every morning at the break of day Head on down to that refinery
 Bet you my whiskey, I’ll be you my beer I’d rather be any old place but here 
 But my baby, she wants a black diamond ring
 Got me drilling every well from here across the plains Said my baby, she
loves this Alberta man
 If you don’t know now well honey, you’ll never understand 
 When that oil patch money comes rolling in Head on down to that city of sin
 Cash that cheque in a bathroom stall
 We gonna cut it all up with a credit card 
 My baby, she wants a black diamond ring
 Got me drilling every well from here across the plains Said my baby, she
loves this Alberta man
 If you don’t know yet well honey, you’ll never understand 
 Keep pushing my luck till my dying day Honey I got crude running through my
veins 
 Up north it’s freezing cold
 Got us working at 40 below
 This old town’s going straight to hell
 The devil climbed up through an old well 
 And my baby, she wants a black diamond ring
 Got me drilling every well from here across the plains Said my baby, she
loves this Alberta man
 If you don’t know yet well honey, you’ll never understand 
 Well you don’t know yet now honey, you’ll never understand Well you don’t
know yet now honey, you’ll never understand Well you don’t know yet now honey,
you’ll never understand
