Diamonds In The Rough          
Recorded by The Blue Ridge Mountain Boys
Written by A.P. Carter

C
While walking out one evening
    F                C
Not knowing where to go
         
Just to pass the time away
  D7               G7
Before we held our show

  C
I hear the Backwood Mission Band
F                      C
Singing with all their might

I gave my heart to Jesus
             G7        C
And left the show that night


The day will soon be over
    F                C
And diggings will be done

And no more gems be gathered
   D7               G7
So let us all press on

     C
When Jesus comes to claim us
    F          C
And says it is enough

The diamonds will be shining
          G7     C
No longer in the rough


While reading in the Bible
     F                 C
Some wondrous sights I see

I read of Peter James and John
       D7         G7
By the Sea of Galilee

    C
And Jesus when He found them
   F               C
He found them very kind

And they were precious diamonds
              G7     C
That gathered in the rough
