Lyrics The Precious Jewel (1963 Version) - Roy Acuff
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
jewel
for
heaven
More
precious
than
diamonds
more
precious
than
gold.
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
up
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.
