Diamond In Your Mind Lyrics - Don't Give Up On Me - Solomon Burke

I shook the hand of the president and the pope in Rome 

I've been to parties where I've had to be flown 

They said everything was sacred, nothing was profane 

And money was something that you throw off the back of trains 

Oh always keep a diamond in your mind 

You gotta always keep a diamond in your mind 

Wherever you may wander 

Wherever you may roam 

You gotta always keep a diamond in your mind 

Steam of the gravy with little fried pearls 

Floating like a necklace on a beautiful girl 

Johan says thanks to the food and land 

And oh so ever grateful for God's on my hands

Oh always keep a diamond in your mind 

Always keep a diamond in your mind 

Wherever you may wander 

Wherever you may roam 

You gotta always keep a diamond in your mind 

She's got the milk of human kindness and the fat of the lamb 

Scared like a baby, well she drives like a man 

She lives outside of Natchez where she operates a crane 

She's like a wrecking ball no longer connected to the chain 

Oh Zerelda Samuel said she almost never prayed 

Said she lost her right arm, blown off in a Pinkerton raid 

Then they lashed her to a windmill with old 3-fingered Dave 

Now she's 102 drinking mint juleps in the shade 

Everybody, always keep a diamond in your mind 

You gotta always keep a diamond in your mind 

Wherever you may wander 

Wherever you may roam 

Your gotta always keep a diamond in your mind

Always keep a diamond in your mind 

Always keep a diamond in your mind 

Wherever you may wander 

Wherever you may roam 

Your gotta always keep a diamond in your mind 

Always keep a diamond in your mind 

Always keep a diamond in your mind
