John Prine - Diamonds In The Rough Lyrics
While walking out, one evening,Not knowing where to goJust to pass the time awayBefore we held our showI heard a little mission bandPlaying with all their mightI gave my soul to jesusAnd left the show that nightThe day will soon be overAnd evening will be doneNo more gems to be gatheredSo let us all press onWhen jesus comes to claim usAnd says it is enoughThe diamonds will be shiningNo longer in the rough
