I dug up a diamond lyrics

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.
