|
Way back in the hills, when a boy, |
|
I once wandered |
|
Buried deep in her grave lies a girl that |
|
I loveShe was called from this earth, a jewel for heaven |
|
More precious than diamonds more precious than gold. |
|
When a girl of sixteen, we courted each other |
|
She promised someday to become my sweet wife |
|
I bought her the ring to wear on her finger |
|
But the angels they called her to heaven one night. |
|
A jewel here on earth, a jewel up in heaven |
|
She'll brighten the kingdom around |
|
God's great throne |
|
May the angels have peace, |
|
God bless her in heaven |
|
They've broken my heart and they left me to roam. |
|
This world has it wealth, its' trials and troubles |
|
Mother earth holds her treasures of diamonds and gold |
|
But it can't hold the soul of one precious jewel |
|
She's resting in peace with the heavenly fold. |
|
May the angels have peace, |
|
God bless her in heaven |
|
They've broken my heart and they left me to roam. |
