The Precious Jewel
We're back in the hills, as a boy I would wander
Where keeping a grape lies the one that I love
She was called from this earth, that you will look for heaven
More precious than diamonds, more precious than gold
I dreamt here on earth that you're in heaven
She'll brighten the kingdom around God's great throne
May the angels have peace, God bless her in heaven
She's broken my heart and she left me to roll
One girl of sixteen, we cuddled each other
She promise someday to become my sweet wife
I bought her the ring to wear on her fingers
But the angels they call her for heaven on high
I dreamt here on earth that you're in heaven
She'll brighten the kingdom around God's great throne
May the angels have peace, God bless her in heaven
She's broken my heart and she left me to roll
She's broken my heart and she left me to roll
Where keeping a grape lies the one that I love
She was called from this earth, that you will look for heaven
More precious than diamonds, more precious than gold
I dreamt here on earth that you're in heaven
She'll brighten the kingdom around God's great throne
May the angels have peace, God bless her in heaven
She's broken my heart and she left me to roll
One girl of sixteen, we cuddled each other
She promise someday to become my sweet wife
I bought her the ring to wear on her fingers
But the angels they call her for heaven on high
I dreamt here on earth that you're in heaven
She'll brighten the kingdom around God's great throne
May the angels have peace, God bless her in heaven
She's broken my heart and she left me to roll
She's broken my heart and she left me to roll
