Lyrics
Diamonds
Mama if you see me
I’m runnin’ blind
Lookin’ for the railroad
The roadrunnin’ kind
The roadrunnin’ kind
Mama if you hear me
Not, makin’ a sound
Listen to me carefully
Talkin’ you down
Talkin’ you down
Talkin’ you down
Mandolin……
Darlin’ if you’re worryin’
That I’m lonely for you
let me tell you baby
I’m already blue
I’m already blue
I’m already blue
Fiddle……
Tears on your pillow
Yearnin’ in your heart
Comin’ back to give you
Diamonds in your hand
Diamonds in your hand
Diamonds in your hand
Tears on your pillow
Yearnin’ in your heart
Comin’ back to give you
Diamonds in your hand
Diamonds in your hand
Diamonds in your hand
