Roving Jewel

I forgive myself for lovin' a man like you

So blind, and so reckless now they call me

The Roving Jewel

(The Roving Jewel)

Seems you have forgotten what I've done for you

I raised all your children and I fed them too

One time after supper, it was a Friday night

I came to your doorstep caught you with another man's wife

You see I'm changing just like month of May

All the fields are flooding, so I must go away

Just like the rock so black I crack it and put it in my

Arms, carry it all the way down to Arkansas

You see I'm sinking deep down in a hole

The light is fading, for I am the Roving Jewel

I tried to be your lover, but I am just a fool

Five years since you left me

Now they call me the Roving Jewel

(The Roving Jewel)

Now they call me the Roving Jewel
