I Dug Up A Diamond

I dug up a diamond, rare and fine

I dug up a diamond in a deep dark mine

If only I could cling to my beautiful find

I dug up a diamond in a deep dark mineMy gem is special beyond all worth

As strong as any metal or stone in the earth

Sharp as any razor or blade you can buy

Bright as any laser or any star in the skyMaybe once in a lifetime you'll hold one in your hand

Once in a lifetime in this land

Where the journey ends in a worthless claim

Time and again in the mining gameI dug up a diamond, rare and fine

I dug up a diamond in a deep dark mine

Down in the darkness in the dirt and the grime

I dug up a diamond in a deep dark mine
