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
