Diamonds In The Rough-with Mother Maybelle Carter Lyrics


Johnny Cash Diamonds In The Rough-with Mother Maybelle Carter


While walking out one evening,not knowing where to go
just to pass the time away,before we held our show
I heard a little mission band,playing with all their might
I gave my heart to Jesus,and left the show that night

Chorus/With mabelle carter
The day will soon be over,and evening will be gone
no more gems to be gathered,so let us all press on
when jesus comes to claim us ,and says it is enough
The diamonds will be shinning,no longer in the rough.

verse (Johnny)
While reading through the Bible,some wonderous sights i see
I read of Peter,James and John by the sea of Galilee
and Jesus when he found them,he found them mighty tough
they were precious diamonds,to be gathered in the rough

Chorus/With mabelle carter
The day will soon be over,and evening will be gone
no more gems to be gathered,so let us all press on
when jesus comes to claim us ,and says it is enough
The diamonds will be shinning,no longer in the rough.
