[Lyric] Fortified Wine Widow (Mamie Minch)

I have lost my one true lover
I'm afraid it’s for all time
No he prefers a silent mistress
And his fortified wine
And his fortified wine

Once I had diamonds for my teardrops
Once I had rubies for my breasts
But he did freely spend my treasure
On that lady he loves best
On that lady he loves best

The blackest crow that ever floated
He would surely turn to white
If ever I forgive my lover
Bright day would turn to night
Bright day would turn to night

I've had my fill but still am empty
Next to him I cannot lay my head
I leave him sleep let him dream there
In his own drunken bed
In his own drunken bed
