Lyrics

Know me by the light of a fire shinin' bright
Know me by your bed where I've lain
Know me, and you might, if just for a night
You'll know me by no other name

Some girls will bring you silver
Some will bring you fine spanish lace
Some will say "i love you"
Some will have my face

Some will bring you gold, babies to hold
I'll bring you only pain
You can know me, if you will, by the wind on the hill
You'll know me by no other name

Some girls will die for money
Some will die as they're born
Some will swear they'd die for love
Some die ev'ry morn

I'll die alone, away from my home
Nobody knows where I came
The stone at my head will say I am dead
It knows me by no other name
It knows me by no other name
