My Diamond Is Too Rough
People, they tell me
As they look upon my skin and bones
You're ragged and you're dirty
Hardly worth your weight in gold
For all of your suffering
No one gives a good goddamn
It's all about the money, son
We doubt you understand
Yodelay-ho
They say, "Your diamond is too rough"
Yodelay-ho
I'd never trade it for their love
Sometimes at night
I look upon the stars above
They never shine as bright
As my diamond in the rough
People, they tell me
Just to give up and go on home
But to have no home to go to
Is something they'll never know
Yodelay-ho
They say, "Your diamond is too rough"
Yodelay-ho
I'd never trade it for their love
Yodelay-ho
They say, "Your diamond is too rough"
Yodelay-ho
I'd never trade it for their love
Sometimes I feel
Like I ain't getting nowhere
I'm walking down this road
With a burden I can't bear
I never let this world
Get too heavy on my shoulders
'Cause my diamond always will
Pull the weight that I'm under
Yodelay-ho
They say, "Your diamond is too rough"
Yodelay-ho
I'd never trade it for their love
Yodelay-ho
They say, "Your diamond is too rough"
Yodelay-ho
I'd never trade it for their love
As they look upon my skin and bones
You're ragged and you're dirty
Hardly worth your weight in gold
For all of your suffering
No one gives a good goddamn
It's all about the money, son
We doubt you understand
Yodelay-ho
They say, "Your diamond is too rough"
Yodelay-ho
I'd never trade it for their love
Sometimes at night
I look upon the stars above
They never shine as bright
As my diamond in the rough
People, they tell me
Just to give up and go on home
But to have no home to go to
Is something they'll never know
Yodelay-ho
They say, "Your diamond is too rough"
Yodelay-ho
I'd never trade it for their love
Yodelay-ho
They say, "Your diamond is too rough"
Yodelay-ho
I'd never trade it for their love
Sometimes I feel
Like I ain't getting nowhere
I'm walking down this road
With a burden I can't bear
I never let this world
Get too heavy on my shoulders
'Cause my diamond always will
Pull the weight that I'm under
Yodelay-ho
They say, "Your diamond is too rough"
Yodelay-ho
I'd never trade it for their love
Yodelay-ho
They say, "Your diamond is too rough"
Yodelay-ho
I'd never trade it for their love
