She took me for my money and a brand new diamond ring
She took me for a ride and on top of everything
She left me here standing all alone in the rain
All she wanted was to ride this gravy train
Didn't think she would be like the others
Didn't think she wanted monetary gain
But when I turned my back she got on the other track
All she wanted was to ride this gravy train
She took me for my money and a brand new diamond ring
She took me for a ride and on top of everything
She left me here standing all alone in the rain
All she wanted was to ride this gravy train
All she wanted was to ride this gravy train
She looked just like an angel when I met her
Didn't dream that I'd be singing this refrain
But the truth has put me wise to this devil in disguise
All she wanted was to ride this gravy train
She took me for my money and a brand new diamond ring
She took me for a ride and on top of everything
She left me here standing all alone in the rain
All she wanted was to ride this gravy train
So beware if you meet a pretty stranger
Especially if she wears a diamond ring
Keep one eye on the reins and the other on your chain
Cause she's looking for a diamond ring
And she's looking for another gravy train
She took me for my money and a brand new diamond ring
She took me for a ride and on top of everything
She left me here standing all alone in the rain
All she wanted was to ride this gravy train
And she's looking for another gravy train
She took me for a ride and a brand new diamond ring
