Polished Pearls (Live)

You can ask her where she got them
And listen close to what she'd say
Down to the Station
Or from her dear old great aunt mae

It only took just a little while
For the townsfolk to forget
It only took just a little smile
For polished pearls to drop one dead

You can keep your jade and turquoise
You can keep you diamond rings
Loving her aint' no choice
Polished pearls will be the death of me

The Truth lies in the shadows
A whistle blows from aunt mae's grave
She lies in a white dress
Without the pearls that her grandma gave

All it took was a lantern
A sharpened spade to cut the clay
A pry bar and a conscience
Left at home to die and decay

You can keep your jade and turquoise
You can keep you diamond rings
Loving her aint' no choice
Polished pearls will be the death of me

I seen them in the moonlight
They shined to the heavens above
Polished pearls and blue eyes
Take me home baby girl be mine
Take me home baby girl be mine
Take me home baby girl be mine

You can keep your jade and turquoise
You can keep you diamond rings
Loving her aint' no choice
Polished pearls will be the death of me
