My Diamond Is Too Rough

People they tell me As they look upon my skin and bones You're ragged and you're dirty Hardly worth your weight in gold

For all of your suffering No one gives a good goddamn It's all about the money, son We doubt you understand

Yodelay-ho They say your diamond is too rough Yodelay-ho I'd never trade it for their love

Sometimes at night I look upon the stars above They never shine as bright As my diamond in the rough

People they tell me Just to give up and go on home But to have no home to go to Is something they'll never know

Yodelay-ho They say your diamond is too rough Yodelay-ho I'd never trade it for their love

Yodelay-ho They say your diamond is too rough Yodelay-ho I'd never trade it for their love

Sometimes I feel Like I ain't getting nowhere I'm walking down this road With a burden I can't bear

I never let this world Get too heavy on my shoulders 'Cause my diamond always will Pull the weight that I'm under

Yodelay-ho They say your diamond is too rough Yodelay-ho I'd never trade it for their love

Yodelay-ho They say your diamond is too rough Yodelay-ho I'd never trade it for their love
