Recorded by Hank Locklin
Written by Roy Acuff
G
Way back in the hills
C G
As a boy I was once wandered
Buried deep in her grave
A7 D7
Lies the girl that I love
G
She was called from this earth
C G
A jewel for Heaven
More precious than diamonds
D7 G
More precious than gold
A jewel here on earth
C G
And jewel in Heaven
She'll brighten the kingdom
A7 D7
Around God's great throne
G
May the angels have peace
C G
God bless her in Heaven
They've broken my heart
D7 G
And they've left me to roam
When she was sixteen
C G
We courted each other
She promised someday
A7 D7
To become my sweet wife
G
I bought her the ring
C G
To wear on her finger
The angels they called her
D7 G
To heaven one night
