chorus
|
Diamonds and Gold, Diamonds and Gold |
| |
A man could be tempted by Diamonds and Gold |
| |
He'll spend his life and endanger his soul |
| |
Searching for Diamonds and Gold, Diamonds and Gold |
| |
|
|
1.
|
Her blue eyes twinkled like diamonds |
| |
Her hair sparkled just like spun gold |
| |
With fortune we'd easily marry |
| |
And forever her soft hands I'd hold |
| |
|
2. |
I heard about a lost treasure |
| |
Long stashed in a far badlands cave |
| |
But only a fool would go looking |
| |
With desert and outlaws to brave |
| |
|
3. |
I packed up my gear and my bedroll |
| |
My wagon, my tack, and my team |
| |
Set out to discover the treasure |
| |
To share with the girl of my dreams |
| |
|
chorus |
Diamonds and Gold, Diamonds and Gold |
| |
A man could be tempted by Diamonds and Gold |
| |
Out on the trail for the treasure foretold |
| |
Searching for Diamonds and Gold, Diamonds and Gold |
| |
|
4. |
I traveled for weeks 'til I found it |
| |
A spire on a bluff laced with gold |
| |
Beneath the spire lay a cavern |
| |
There I found my diamonds and gold |
| |
|
5. |
I reached for the gold as I trembled |
| |
I touched it and felt a sharp fang |
| |
Gold rattler with scales of brown diamonds |
| |
Slid under a rock overhang |
| |
|
6. |
My vision went dark as I wavered |
| |
I heard her sweet voice in my ear |
| |
She whispered, "You chased after treasure |
| |
And lost everything you held, dear." |
| |
|
chorus |
Diamonds and Gold, Diamonds and Gold |
| |
A man could be tempted by Diamonds and Gold |
| |
He'll lose his life and he'll give up his soul |
| |
For diamondback Diamonds and Gold, Diamonds and Gold |
| |
|
7. |
Her blue eyes twinkled like diamonds |
| |
Her hair sparkled just like spun gold |
| |
I thought of her as I lay dying |
| |
My heart and my dreams growing cold |
| |
|
chorus |
Diamonds and Gold, Diamonds and Gold |
| |
I'll never return to my woman to hold |
| |
I lost my life and I gave up my soul |
| |
A victim of Diamonds and Gold, Diamonds and Gold |
| |
|
coda |
I wasted my life and endangered my soul |
| |
Now I'm with Diamonds and Gold |
| |
Forever with Diamonds and Gold |
