Is it this one by Charlie Pride?
Crystal Chandeliers
by Charlie Pride

Chorus:
All the (A)crystal chandeliers light up the (E7)paintings on your wall
The marble statuettes
Are standing (A)stately, in the hall, but will the timely crowd,
that has you laughing loud help you, (D)dry your tears
When the (A)new wears off of your (E7)crystal chande-(A)liers

Verse 1:
(A)I never did, fit in too well with (E7)folks you knew
And it's plain to see that the likes of me don't (A)fit with you
(E7)So you traded me for the gaiety of the (D)well to do
And you (A)turned a way from the (E7)love I offered (A)you

Repeat Chorus:
Repeat Verse 1:
Verse 2:
(A)I see your picture in the news most (E7)every day
You're the chosen girl of the social world
So the (A)stories say
(E7)But a paper smile only (A)last awhile
Then it (D)fades away
And the (A)love we knew will come (E7)home to you some (A)day

Repeat Chorus:

The reference to burgundy doesn't compute so maybe it isn't.

Seems to be one I've never heard previously, Rasta.

A quick search shows that it is on two recordings, Junkies and Juiceheads as well as Destination Victoria Station

This boxcar's been my home since St Antone
Cause this ankle of mine I turned while hoppin' on
Shoots pain that feeds my dreams with luxuries
I see crystal chandeliers and burgundy

I can feel my mother's heartbeat from the track
It's the rhythm of a son that won't be back
Lord knows where my mind is takin' me
I see crystal chandeliers and burgundy

If that conductor only knew all the trouble I've been through
Just to be here on this train once again
Freedom of a hobo ain't so bad you can dream of all the wealth you might've had
I guess livin' on this train is gettin' to me I see crystal chandeliers and burgundy
[ guitar ]
If that conductor only knew all the trouble I've been through
Just to be here on this train once again
If there's nothing in this world I've gotta do
But to ride these rails of steel my whole life through
Then take away these visions that I see of crystal chandeliers and burgundy
Of crystal chandeliers and burgundy
