the precious jewel
Singer:jones, george
buried deep in her grave lies a girl that i love
she was called from this earth
more precious than diamonds more precious than gold. a jewel here on earth
she'll brighten the kingdom around god's great throne
may the angels have peace
they've broken my heart and they left me to roam. when a girl of sixteen
she promised someday to become my sweet wife
i bought her the ring to wear on her finger
but the angels they called her to heaven one night. a jewel here on earth
she'll brighten the kingdom around god's great throne
may the angels have peace
they've broken my heart and they left me to roam.
