Big diamonds
Big blue diamonds
On her finger she had
Instead of a little band of gold
Big diamonds
Big blue diamonds
Tell a story of the love
That the one man could ever hold
She wanted more than I
Had made through the life
So she left me
Sad and lonesome and poor
Big diamonds
Big blue diamonds
How they sparkle
But what can they do to warm my heart to its core?
When you're lonesome in the moonlight
For a lover's caress
Big as diamonds
Big blue diamonds
Will surely turn cold
She wanted more than I
Had made through the life
So she left me
Sad and lonesome and poor
Big diamonds
Big blue diamonds
I don't want them, oh no
I want a love behind a band of gold
