Way back in the hills, when a boy, I once wandered Buried deep in her grave lies the one that I love She was called from this earth, a jewel for Heaven More precious than diamonds, more precious than gold A jewel here on earth, a jewel 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 jewel here on earth, a jewel 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 This world has it wealth, its trials and troubles Mother Earth holds her treasures of diamonds and gold But it can't hold the soul of one precious jewel She's resting in peace with the Heavenly fold May the angels have peace, God bless her in Heaven They've broken my heart and they left me to roam
