《Diamonds in the Rough》歌词

[00:00:02] Diamonds in the Rough --John Prine

[00:00:06] Verse (Johnny)

[00:00:07] While walking out one evening not knowing where to go

[00:00:27] Just to pass the time away before we held our show

[00:00:36] I heard a little mission band playing with all their might

[00:00:45] I gave my heart to Jesus and left the show that night

[00:00:54] Chorus/With mabelle carter

[00:00:55] The day will soon be over and evening will be gone

[00:01:03] No more gems to be gathered so let us all press on

[00:01:12] When jesus comes to claim us and says it is enough

[00:01:22] The diamonds will be shinning no longer in the rough

[00:01:35] Verse (Johnny)

[00:01:49] While reading through the Bible some wonderous sights i see

[00:01:58] I read of Peter James and John by the sea of Galilee

[00:02:07] And Jesus when he found them he found them mighty tough

[00:02:17] They were precious diamonds to be gathered in the rough

[00:02:26] Chorus/With mabelle carter

[00:02:27] The day will soon be over and evening will be gone

[00:02:36] No more gems to be gathered so let us all press on

[00:02:45] When jesus comes to claim us and says it is enough

[00:02:54] The diamonds will be shinning no longer in the rough
