George Jones - The Precious Jewel lyrics

Way back in the hills, when a boy, I once wandered Buried deep in her grave lies a girl that I love She was called from this earth, a j**el for heaven More precious than diamonds more precious than gold. A j**el here on earth, a j**el in heaven She'll brighten the kingdom around God's great throne May the angels have peace, God bless her in heaven They've broken my heart and they left me to roam. When a girl of sixteen, we courted each other She promised someday to become my sweet wife I bought her the ring to wear on her finger But the angels they called her to heaven one night. A j**el here on earth, a j**el in heaven She'll brighten the kingdom around God's great throne May the angels have peace, God bless her in heaven They've broken my heart and they left me to roam...
