Precious Jewel Lyrics by The Holy Modal Rounders

Too Much Fun!

0

[Verse 1]
Way back in the hills, when a boy, I once wandered
Lied deep in her grave there's a girl that I love
She was called from this Earth, a jewel for Heaven
More precious than diamonds, more precious than gold
[Chorus]
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 rest her in heaven
She's broken my heart, and she’s left me to roam
[Verse 2]
As a girl of 16, we courted each other
She promised someday she'd become my sweet wife
I bought her the ring to wear on her finger
But the angels they took her to Heaven one night
[Chorus]
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 rest her in heaven
She's broken my heart, and she's left me to roam
[Verse 3]
This earth has its share of trials and troubles
Mother Earth holds her treasures and diamonds and gold
Buts she can't hold the soul of my one precious jewel
She's resting tonight with the heavenly fold
[Chorus]
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 rest her in heaven
She's broken my heart, and she’s left me to roam
She's broken my heart, and she's left me to roam
