S hook the hands with the president and then the p ope in Rome;
I've been to p arties where I've h ad to be flown;
They told me e verything was s acred n othing is p rofane;
Money's s omething that you t hrow off of the b ack of a train.
A lways keep a diamond in your m ind
A lways keep a diamond in your m ind
Where ver you may wander
Where ver you may r oam
A lways keep a d iamond in your m ind
S teamer of gravy with the l ittle fried pearls
F loating like a necklace on a b eautiful girl
And C halmers said t hanks for the f ood and l and
A nd somethin' about G od that I just d on't understand
A lways keep a diamond in your m ind
A lways keep a diamond in your m ind
Where ver you may wander
Where ver you may r oam
A lways keep a d iamond in your m ind
She's got the m ilk of human kindness and the f at of the land
S kin like a baby but she d rives like a man
S he lives in Natchez and she o perates a crane
S he's like a wrecking ball that's no longer conn ected to the chain
Z erelda Samuels said she a in't never prayed
Since her r ight arm was blown off in a P inkerton raid
They l ashed her to a w indmill with 3 -fingered D ave
Now she's a h undred and t wo and drinkin' j uleps in the shade
A lways keep a diamond in your m ind
A lways keep a diamond in your m ind
Where ver you may wander
Where ver you may r oam
A lways keep a d iamond in your m ind
A lways keep a diamond in your m ind
A lways keep a diamond in your m ind
Where ver you may wander
Where ver you may r oam
A lways keep a d iamond in your m ind
A lways keep a d iamond in your m ind
