Blue Diamonds

Need a home for my family
Gonna start a new life
Got a school for my children
And a church for my wife
Won’t be much but it’s somethin’
Food and shoes for our feet
Lord, the risk it ain’t nothin’
For a family in need

[Chorus]

Blue diamonds
Buried in the ground
Blue diamonds
All over this town

Travelin’ down through the darkness
To where I can’t see
Lost a brother this morning
Lord bless his family
Yeah we’re makin’ a living
And we’re filling a need
But we’re all sick or dyin’
For another man’s greed

[Chorus]

Oh, the long days and hard work
Drove me straight to the still
I owe it all to the company
I guess I always will
All they care for is portraits
Of great men from the past
Children’s fathers are dying
And I won’t be the last
‘Cause we’re

[Chorus]

Never to be found
All over this town
