Folk and Traditional Song Lyrics:
Black Diamonds

Black Diamonds

Black Diamonds
(Jez Lowe)

Oh clubs will make you wonder
So don't make that mistake
Way down black diamonds to be found
Oh spades are made for digging boys
Hearts'll only break
Looking for black diamonds a mile beneath the ground

Cho: It's way down black diamonds to be found
Down in the darkness, that's where we are bound
Way down black diamonds to be found
Shining in the lamplight a mile beneath the ground

Oh dust it slowly kills yer
But what else can you do
Way down black diamonds to be found
It makes your throat like ashes
Your cuts and scars go blue
Looking for black diamonds a mile beneath the ground

See them wear their chains of silver
They're wearing rings of gold
Why they're way down black diamonds to be found
They'll be glad of some black diamonds
When their nights are turning cold
Looking for black diamonds a mile beneath the ground

 Repeat chorus

 Repeat verse 1
