Words and music by Roy Acuff
[Verse]
GWay back in the hills, when a Cboy, I once wGandered
Buried deep in her grave lies the Aone that I Dlove
She was Gcalled from this earth, a Cjewel for Gheaven
More precious than diamonds more Dprecious than Ggold.
[Chorus]
GA jewel here on earth, a Cjewel in Gheaven
She'll brighten the kingdom Aaround God's great Dthrone
May the angels have Gpeace, God Cbless her in Gheaven
They've broken my heart and they Dleft me to Groam.
[Verse 2]
GWhen a girl of sixteen, we Ccourted each Gother
She promised someday to be-Acome my sweet Dwife
I bought Gher the ring to Cwear on her fingGer
But the angels they called her to Dheaven one Gnight.
[Chorus]
GA jewel here on earth, a Cjewel up in Gheaven
She'll brighten the kingdom Aaround God's great Dthrone
May the angels have Gpeace, God Cbless her in Gheaven
They've broken my heart and they Dleft me to Groam.
[Verse 3]
GThis world has it wealth, its' Ctrials and Gtroubles
Mother earth holds her treasures of Adiamonds and Dgold
But it can't hold the Gsoul of Cone precious Gjewel
She's resting in peace with the Dheavenly Gfold.
[End chorus]
GMay the angels have peace, God Cbless her in Gheaven
They've broken my heart and they Dleft me to Groam.
