Precious Jewel Lyrics - Hank Locklin

Way back in the hills when a boy I once wandered 

There beneath the grave lies a girl that I love 

She was called from this earth a jewel from heaven 

More precious than diamonds more precious than gold 

A jewel here on earth and a jewel in heaven 

She will brighten the kingdom around God's great throne 

Maybe angels have peace God bless her in heaven 

They've broken my heart and they've left me to roam 

[ piano ] 

When she was sixteen we courted each other 

She promised someday to become my sweet wife 

I bought her the ring to wear on her finger 

The angels they called her to heaven one night 

A jewel here on earth...
