I Dug Up A Diamond

I Dug Up A Diamond - Emmylou Harris (愛美蘿·哈里斯)/Mark Knopfler

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 mine

My gem is special

Beyond all worth

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 sky

Maybe 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 game

I 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
