I dug up a diamond
|
Rare and fine
|
I dug up a diamond
|
In a deep dark mine
|
If only I could cling to
|
My beautiful find
|
I dug up a diamond
|
In a deep dark mine
|
|
My gem is special
|
Beyond all worth
|
As strong as any metal
|
Or stone in the earth
|
Sharp as any razor
|
Or blade you can buy
|
Bright as any laser
|
Or any star in the sky
|
|
Maybe once in a lifetime
|
You'll hold one in your hand
|
Once in a lifetime
|
In this land
|
Where the journey ends
|
In a worthless claim
|
Time and again
|
In the mining game
|
|
I dug up a diamond
|
Rare and fine
|
I dug up a diamond
|
In a deep dark mine
|
Down in the darkness
|
In the dirt and the grime
|
I dug up a diamond
|
In a deep dark mine
|
|

I Dug Up A Diamond
