As teenagers back in the late 50ties we were always looking for something a little different in songs . A song Jerry Madeiras and I worked out in 1958
Lyrics
She was mine all mine to have and to hold
And her heart was made of pure gold
And she kept it by me in the Garden of Eden
Then she fell for a story so old
Chorus:
Because the devil of deceit
Stepped into her life
And taught her how to lie and cheat
He played tricks on her so sweet
Then through ashes at her feet oh oh oh
We had it all in the Garden of Eden
But now it’s gone for a story so old
Chorus:
Because the devil of deceit
Stepped into her life
And taught her how to lie and cheat
He played tricks on her so sweet
Then through ashes at her feet oh oh oh
Her love for me was a beautiful thing
Oh why oh why I’ll never know
