about

Throwaway
Throwaway
Done almost as an afterthought
This song's a throwaway

lyrics

I
Listen fellow travellers
Here along the trail
Oh, you kind and gentle folk
Please head my warning well

Should you chance to meet him
Just turn and walk away
You surely will regret the day
You heard of Diamond Ray

Diamond Ray
Diamond Ray
As wicked as the day is long
Name of Diamond Ray

Diamond Ray
Diamond Ray
He’s surely bound to do ya wrong
That low-down Diamond Ray

II
His smile warm as summer
His eyes so bright and fair
Be ye fooled not by these things
They only bring despair

A lewd and shameless villain
His heart as black as coal
They offered only 20¢
When Satan bought his soul

Diamond Ray
Diamond Ray
I dare not even speak his sins
The vile Diamond Ray

Diamond Ray
Diamond Ray
Lord knows when he’ll strike again
That dreaded Diamond Ray

III
Be cautious in your travels
Look out for goodness sake
For if he finds you sleeping there
You may not ever wake

I suppose I could protect you
And shield you on your way
But only if you’ve got the coin
And only if you’ll pay

Diamond Ray
Diamond Ray
He’ll trick you and he’ll drain you dry
That sneaky Diamond Ray

Diamond Ray
Diamond Ray
For I am him and he is I
That famous Diamond Ray
